Norma, what a pleasant way to start my day with the beautiful words you have written.

Isn't life great when you think of that special bond you are so fortunate to have with your grand-daughter? She must love you a lot! It's easy to see why.

Chickadee, I myself, am just bursting with happiness that you have "grabbed the bull by the horns" on this smoking issue. This is like a Christmas present to me to even think I had a very small part in helping you get there. The real credit goes to you because all the cajolling in the world by everyone else really can't do it. It's got to be you.

Let's all keep posting and encouraging our sisters to stay on the path to health and success.

Let's also give our sisters a pat on the back even if they give into the temptation, remembering that for them tomorrow is another day.
