Good Morning all! Today as the Freedom Train makes it's daily run to Freedom, our Friend Shawn will be aboard! Shawn is celebrating her 100 Day milestone, and I am pleased to hold the door to the Triple Digit Club open for her!

I am sure that many of you know, and love this Girl! She is a valued member of our community, and does some remarkable things with graphics! But here is "The Rest of the Story" (Thank you Mr. Harvey).

Shawn, joined our community not knowing for sure what she was getting into! But she made a commitment to quit smoking! On the second day of that quit she reported to us that her Mom was in the hospital, and not doing well! In fact, she confided in me that her Mom wrote a note asking them to take her tube out! Her Mom was struggling and ready to go on. After much deliberation, and prayer they left the tube in, and her mom has made a remarkable recovery!

I tell you all of this so that I might point out the strenght of this woman's commitment! I hear people all the time that relapsed because of stress! And yes, I know that stress is a serial killer of quits! But, I want you to see, in Shawn, that stress does not have to kill your quit! I hope none of you have to face the stress of making that kind of decision! However in the stress that we do face in our daily lives, we can look to Shawn as an Example! We do not have to smoke! There are no reasons to smoke! Only EXcuses!

I am asking you all to take a moment today and join the Freedom Train, to offer Shawn congrats, and continued supoport, as she celebrates her induction to the Triple Digit Club!!

Shawn, Thank you for allowing me to call you my Friend! It only gets better from here!!!      Tommy
