Freedom Train (Sat., 3/3/12) **Revised**

Yay for the weekend! Happy Saturday! I hope all of you are working hard to stick with your quits. Let's get this train rolling with 4 special honorees. Aren't all of our honorees special? Of course they are!

 

First in my notes today is MrsKatieK with 400 smoke free days. This is a direct quote from a blog Katie wrote when she reached 1 year. “Believe in yourself and lean on those who believe in you when you need them.” Congratulations and step on up here!

 

Next we are going to get Miss Cogs! 1 year ago today she quit smoking for good! She doesn't write blogs often, mostly she reads them in the background. This was taken from one of Miss Cogs' blogs after she had been quit for some time. “Back in the early days of my quit I would swear I was going crazy; it is nice to know that (a) it's not just me and (b) it does get better and easier.”

 

So all you newcomers take notice of the great messages these two have for you. You CAN do this and soon we'll be honoring YOU here on the Freedom train!

 

Next up is Mike City with 200 days. I don't know a y not least,whole lot about Mike but he made himself known from the very beginning of his quit and has lots of good friends. We hope they will come and help celebrate on his special day! Way to go Mike!

 

Thanks to some wonderful friends this conductor was advised to go back to pick up Doug with 100 smoke free days today!! In keeping with the theme of what did he say - doug most recently provided us with this tidbit. "You only fail if you stop trying."  So true Doug. Never quit quitting and once quit never quit your quit! Congratulations and welcome to the triple Digit Club Doug! 

 

It's going to be a good day...I can just feel it! Let's go go go!

 

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!!!!!!!!! Maggie

Is anybody hungry?

Could be lunch (west coast) or a snack (east coast) or one of each (hshshs) for those inbetween!

This Asian beef salad looks like enough to feed at least 2!

Something a little lighter and different for dessert!

ATo make it really special grill large slices slices first along with some pinapple and alternate those on the sticks with the strawberries.  Doesn't that sound yummy and so much better than an after meal sickorette.
