Happy thursday morning, friends, today's train is a special ride. I have no milestones entered in my notes. We usually honor those who have reached a certain milestone in their quit. There are no plateaus here. Our numbers go into infinity. We have no specific goal to reach and then remain there. That would mean that we are back to square one. We would bcome smokers again. We set a goal to reach and then challenge ourselves to keep reaching higher. I have two rules for a successful quit: start and continue, not start and stop, not let's try and stop. Think about it. If you start anything, you need to continue to see the end result. You don't start the car and sit there, otherwise you are going nowhere. You have to step on the gas, put it in drive, turn the wheel and continue driving. Do we not use our imagination each and every day that we board the FREEDOM TRAIN. We picture ourselves sitting with friends, taking in the scenery through our window. We eat, drink, and party. We IMAGINE, and somehow we really are transported there in our minds. If we can just imagine what a beautiful life awaits us as a non smoker. To have a life that is free from chains and restrictions. If you can imagine that ... you can MAKE it happen. Today is your day on the FREEDOM TRAIN. No specific number required. As I aforementioned, this is a Special Edition of our daily journey. We are going to celebrate!!!! We are going to eat, drink, and party. We are FREE ... that gives us reason to celebrate everyday that we are able to draw a breath and not have it followed with coughing and choking. As always I am honored to be in this seat and travel along with you on our continuing journey to FREEDOM. We will slowly roll along the tracks as we watch for our fellow EXers who want to hop on board and celebrate their accomplishments thus far. Remember ... no specific quit time required ... this is the Special Edition of the FREEDOM TRAIN. Let's get this party underway!! WOOOOHOOOO!!!!!!! This Train is bound for FREEDOM from the Evils of tobacco and smoking................................................ "IF YOU ARE NOT RIDING WITH US YOU ARE MISSING THE TRAIN" ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL ABOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Linda♥
