Happy and healthy don't always go hand in hand.webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168174623602308906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22953735.post-84844245052808349442010-11-18T08:51:12.781-05:002010-11-18T08:51:12.781-05:00Let me be the first to comment on this very well-d...Let me be the first to comment on this very well-done post. Today cigarettes cost over twice as much a carton as they did when I smoked AND office smokers seem to have many more "breaks" than the rest of us. When I quit, a friend who worked at a tobacco company was giving me a free carton a week because his wife was pregnant and could not smoke. When that carton did not appear one September week in 1978, I had an epiphany and believed a Higher Power was speaking to me. I never picked up another cigarette after that - even in the bowling center. All that being said, I congratulate all of those NOT smoking today (or anymore at all)and wish them continued success.
