I LOVE SPRING!

I have always loved Spring! I love the fabulous smell in the air. I love the fact that the grass and trees finally turn green again. I love taking long walks and watching all the wildlife coming out of their winter hiding places. I love the baby animals. I love the bluer than blue skies. i love drinking in the sunshine. I love opening the windows and letting in clean, fresh air. I love getting out the clothes I haven't seen since October. I love the feeling of rebirth! I love the Easter Holiday! 

All of these things are simple pleasures that I could not enjoy as a smoker! For me, Spring became a time of coughing and breathlessness! I couldn't go for those long lingering walks because I didn't have the stamina! I opened the windows but couldn't purge my home or my clothes of the musty smell of third hand smoke. I was too busy smoking outside to notice the grass, trees and sky. It's just not the same to contemplate rebirth and salvation when you're killing yourself puff after puff! 

Salvation is intricately tied to FREEDOM - FREEDOM from sin, FREEDOM from slavery! And now, FREEDOM from Addiction! Spring will always be tied to my Salvation from the slavery of Nicotine Addiction! Of all the days on the calendar, the first day of Spring is the most EXcellent day I could DECIDE on! I'm FREE! Smoke FREE is the Way to BE!
