I've now made it to 668 days without a puff!!  WOW is all I can say about that.  I am so glad to no longer be a smoker and to have absolutely no urges to smoke.

Here's what's been going on, the good and the not so good, but all in all, glass is still half full!!

I started a new job the end of September as a Service Delivery Manager for a major energy company.  It's a 5 year contract position, and low pressure job.  We've moved to a new building and my office overlooks the harbor.  Never a bad view.  The salary is not what I was making, but it's decent.

I had emergency surgery October 10th, totalled my car (gas peddal stuck and hit the garage wall), and a crown broke off my tooth!!  Messed up, right??  So, I've bought a new car, am back to work, enjoying the view.   BIG thing are on the horizon.  Thanksgiving's around the corner and I'll be spending with my Glamdaughter!!

I hope you all have a WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING.  Please send up a prayer for my husband and I.  Every blessing counts.

Hugs and prayers for all!! 🙂

It is SO GOOD to hear from you, I am sorry you have had such intense challenges, glad that you are recovering from the accident and have a new job that sounds pretty amazing....keeping the stress level down is always a positive thing and a view of a harbor....oh man, that's just a GIFT.  Congratulations on 668 glorious smokefree days.  Being able to spend time with your GLAMdaughter sounds wonderful.  I miss mine, she is in NY.  It sounds like you had your share of stress with the accident, the job change, the broken crown, never rains but it POURS, right?

Again, it is wonderful to hear from you!  Happy Thanksgiving, Diane.

Hugs,

Ellen
