Next Chapter of My Life

Hi Everyone,

Quit counter shows 292 days today and a whole lot of money saved.  I want everyone to know that the early struggles are so worth it.  There are days now that I don't even think about smoking.  You just have to stick with it.  The rewards are never ending.

After forty one years, I left the office for the last time today.  I am officially a man of leisure.  I told someone today that by this afternoon, I would no longer be "working for the man".  He reminded me that from then on, I will be "working for the WOman".  Boy, did he get that right.  My honey-do list is growing by leaps and bounds. 

But the good thing is that I am not smoking.  That gives me hope that these enjoyable years may be many instead of few.  At least my chances are better this way.

 Wow!  Congrats and Congrats.  You don’t look old enough to have worked that long – I am jealous of that too!  But isn’t it nice that you already quit and don’t have to worry about smoking too much in all your free time.  Although with in a week or two I am sure you will wonder when you actually had time to work!  Enjoy!
