A bit earlier I realized that today is day 1500 for me! No one is more amazed and impressed than I am! This never gets old - celebrating each and every day - especially these nice round numbers! I came here a little over 4 years ago - I followed the advice to READ! (For me that was Carr's book and Quitsmokingonline.com.) And, after 40 years of smoking, I quit! As I have said before - thank you ALL! Whether you were here when I got here, or you have come along since then - if you are a part of this community - you have helped me! 

  I am currently taking a course in "Mindfulness and Meditation" - loving it. On the first night, she gave us the quote below to ponder. So, so true.
   
  "Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom."
   
  Viktor E. Frankl
   
  Hooray for freedom!!

I live in Greensboro, North Carolina. I have 2 cats - Monet and Holly. I retired from teaching special education in 2004 and then taught part-time until 2013. I quit smoking on June 12, 2010 after smoking for 40 years! I am amazed daily - still - by the glory of freedom!
