The urge to write hasn’t left but the
time to write has not been with me.
Today, for a short time at least, I have both; so let’s get cracking!
I quit smoking about 6½ weeks
ago. Am I pleased? You betcha!
I’m not fooling myself, though; there’s a long way to go before I escape
the deep, dark forest of nicotine addiction.
I await, with earnest, the day when I do leave those darkened woods
of tobacco usage and run, free and clear, through the fields of fresh air. As for Earnest; well, if he wants to stay in
the woods, he can. So far I have gained
17 lbs. SEVENTEEN POUNDS! I have got so big, that when I wake up in the
morning, and put my arm across my belly, it feels
like I am sleeping with another person of significant cellulite magnitude; but
it’s all mine! I shall stick with the
plan, though, and not allow my ego to get in the way. At 56, it is hard to look like I did when I
was 26, but I am hoping, that by quitting smoking, I shall at least start to
feel like I was 26 once again; to be frank, I’ll take 36, or even 46. Focus,
Paul; focus. And as for Frank; he can
join Earnest in the woods...
Phew; that`s enough for my first blog of 2014. More to follow because I will find the time.
