ITS A GREAT DAY!

My Quit
Quit Date: 6/9/2007 10:00 AM
Time Smoke-Free: 731 days, 43 minutes
Cigarettes NOT smoked: 18276
Lifetime Saved: 4 months, 19 days, 14 hours
Money Saved: $3,188.99

2 years ago I was sitting at my kitchen table reading the directions on the Chantix Box trying to figure out just how it was going to help me quit smoking. I was worried about how I was going to do it, and I was really worried about how much weight I was going to gain. I betcha I couldn't have walked a 1/2 mile without running out of breath.

Yesterday, I awoke at 3:45 AM and I ran 8 miles around Black Diamond. I am training to run a Marathon - I weigh much less than I did the day I quit smoking - I am healthier, happier, more independent and stronger than ever. I know who I am, I know what I want and I'm pretty sure I know how to get it. Life is Good.

A different type of perseverence.

You will meet challenges and adversities in your life that seem to hard to bare.

The person who pushes forward and keeps going once the effort gets painful is the person who will achieve true happiness.

You ran 26.2 miles, 16 miles of that Marathon on a hurt knee.

You can do this.

Once it gets painful

Once it gets painful

I love this!

I love this!

Live and Learn

Place it in God's hands, whatever happens is what was meant to happen. Trust that.

Every day you have a choice. Use your words and actions to tear someone down or build someone up. What will you choose?

A lie is a lie, A big lie or a tiny little white lie, to someone else, somewhere, it is a huge lie. From this point forward don't be part of anyone's big or little lies.

Start everyday with a Cooper Smile and your life will be fantabulous. Anything else in life is just a bonus.

There is absolutely nothing more important than family. Everything else will, without a doubt, fade away in time. Family never fades.

Learn from your mistakes, Ask for forgiveness for your mistakes, Never make that same mistake again, Be thankful that Forgiveness comes in the least expected places.

When your given a second chance, take it and treasure it.

Surround yourself with people that celebrate you, not tolerate you.

Make all your decisions based on what you believe is right, what you really feel in your heart.
Stand up for yourself, Always stand up for your family

Place everything and everyone in your life on a list from -10 to +10. (very bad to the very best) Let go of everything that isn't on the positive side!

Tell the person you love the most, I love you, all the time, but always remember to make it the last thing said before you go to sleep

Some people enter your life as blessings, some people enter as lessons. Know the difference

Be Brave, just get it done. It will all work out in the end.

Make sure your actions and your words portray the person that Cooper is proud to call "His Mommy".

Come what may and love it!

Learn to Laugh at Adversity, Things that trouble you won't seem so troubling if you Learn to Laugh, and the Memories will be sweeter.

Be thankful for everything God has given you.

Be patient, but remember patience does not mean sitting around waiting for something to happen, patience requires actively working toward a worthwhile goal all the while not getting discouraged if results do not some swiftly.
