I wish you continued content with Far Guy's dr. - I wish for the good days to way out number the bad. I congratulate you on the quitting smoking - something Nalley did about 15 years ago after smoking for a lifetime. I desperately need to exercise too - I wish us both luck with that one! I am sorry for the deaths you experienced this last year. I know we both share in the loss of our humorous and loving friend Pat. My heart goes out to her family members this new year's eve. I am so grateful to have met you thru blogging and I truly appreciate your friendship, your visits, your comments. Life is richer for me by making new blog friends like you.

Who knew that cigarettes, or the lack of, could wreak such havoc. Sigh... I still tell myself that tomorrow I will smoke, but not today. So, maybe tomorrow. . .<br />We'll see.<br /><br />The DuchessEmma Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16687752178033531295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-86922951153889414612009-12-31T16:07:35.016-06:002009-12-31T16:07:35.016-06:00Connie, I think quitting smoking was the hardest t...Connie, I think quitting smoking was the hardest thing I ever did, and I did it twice! I quit for seven years, had ONE cigarette and was hooked again, and it took three more years to finally quit. I gained 17 pounds and it took YEARS for them to finally go away (although now that I look behind me, maybe they are finding their way back home). Congratulations on quitting the habit, and doing the right thing by focusing on exercise and healthier eating, not dieting (doesn't work). Glad to have found YOU this year.

Some people are so in their ruts that they think all is going fine. I like that you have thought back to the whole year and events. I don't know if I can do that. I will need to rest up and read my blogs I guess to see what happened. Chance is that little bundle of love that encourages you two together. He knows his job is to keep track of Far Side and Far Guy and keep them alive and well in spirit. Keep up the great blogging and here's to a Happy New Year.L.
