Good morning, fellow EXer's!
The Freedom Train is on the tracks, and prepared to make its daily run to freedom from smoking. Everyone is invited to come aboard to celebrate their own personal freedom, and that of their friends!
***************************************************************************************************
Today's Celebrations:

We encourage you to come aboard today! Shout out your personal milestones, those of your friends, and show pride in your quit: 2 days, 200 days or 2000 days, or more if you have them! Let us hear from you, and let us all celebrate our freedom. Post food and music - IT IS PARTY TIME! 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"
ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL ABOARD!!!!!! Sharon
What is the Freedom Train? More here
If you are new here, this vehicle provides a place for everyone to gather to celebrate the milestones and successes of those in our community. There are no tickets. The fuel for this locomotive is love and caring. The rides on this train are paid for in contributions to the quits of others! The only thing required to ride this train is a desire to breathe free. We encourage everyone to join in the celebration. No matter where you are in your quit, today is special, and is cause for celebration! Celebrate with others, and they will celebrate with you! There are no baggage fees; bring all your "EXtra baggage" and we will help you sort it out.
How do I count my days?
Your quit info is here
From time to time we have questions about counting days. While we encourage everyone to celebrate every day of their freedom, here on the Freedom Train we count the days you have completed. For example, Tommy quit on 01/01/2010. On 12/31/2010 he had reached 365 days. However, he had not completed a year until 01/01/2011.
Where can I sign up?
You can register for the Freedom Train here.

WOW Rachel has just entered the TDC!!!!!! Huge Milestone Rachel and we are all celebrating with you!
And you get to pick whatever you want for breakfast!!!
Here's an idea:
Tell everyone that you see today that you are a member of the TDC.........let them guess what that means!
Then we have MRS P with a whopping 4 years of FREEDOM!!!
This is a HUGE milestone and we are looking to you for encouragement, knowledge and support. That is what happens when we add the days/months/years to our bank.
I want to give something special to you MRS P!
4 Years are typically a gift of fruit........so, this is for you!
CELEBRATE YOUR SPECIAL DAY TODAY........YOU DESERVE IT!!!
Everyone deserves a celebration today no matter how many days you have. This is a special time for all of us.
(and just a little warning.....don't let the frustration of the new format send you to the store for a pack......we'll get this down and be just as good as we were on the old one.)
NOW HERE IS SOMETHING I CAN GET IN TO!!!!!
NATIONAL CHOCOLATE CAKE DAY
Do we need a birthday, wedding or anniversary to have chocolate cake? Not on January 27, because it’s National Chocolate Cake Day.
According to the Dover Post, the chocolate cake was born in 1765 when a doctor and a chocolate maker teamed up in an old mill. They ground up cocoa beans between huge millstones to make a thick syrup. The liquid was poured into molds shaped like cakes, which were meant to be transformed into a beverage.
The first boxed cake mix was created by a company called O. Duff and Sons in the late 1920s. Betty Crocker released their first dry cake mixes in 1947.
HOW TO OBSERVE:
Eat chocolate cake you silly thing!!!!
Here are some ideas:
When I was a kid Sis used to make a "Crazy Cake" and when it came out of the oven we would eat it with butter on it while it was still hot. Didn't think much back then about how bad it was for us.

OK.......here is a healthy breakfast to eat while you're waiting for the cake to be done:
Well, I'm going to go and eat something........
Come on and share whatever you want to share today.
