I've been out of connection on the regular blogs...sad to hear what you went through with Trica, but glad to know she is on the mend. I will continue to pray for a cure for Trigeminal Neuralgia. I applaud you on the continuing success with not smoking--I too started as a teen (13), but quit for good when I was 21--one of the hardest things I've ever done!Abra La Mentehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01109063644842802206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-87851908952720965062011-01-01T10:11:09.456-06:002011-01-01T10:11:09.456-06:00Happy New Year my friends!

It puts things in better perspective. I remember quitting smoking after only 10 years. It was one of the hardest things I ever did - - - took me 6 attempts before I could do it. I was amazed how much better I felt. My mom kept cravings when she quit but I can't stand the smell of cigarette smoke any more. It chokes me - - - but I probably told you that this summer. One of my "makes me smile" things this year is reading Chance's blogs. Thanks for letting us share your family time!Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12404589772713955710noreply@blogger.com
