Tomorrow, I turn 82-5! It's meaningful for me to reflect on my life's achievements. The most important date is October 7, 1968; while returning from the World Series n St. Louis it was in New York when I decided to quit smoking FOREVER! I was smoking Winstons at 55 cents a pack when I made it up my mind "That's it. "With my mind made up" I transferred my reward to sons Ben & Josh.: Never smoke a cigarette by the time you're 16 and I'll give each one of you a $100! It worked as neither son has never smoked a cigarette. Over the years it is my persuasion to have compassion for cigarette smokers when today's prices are well above $10 a pack. Also, my reflection on my half-birthday reveals I am in reasonably good health. My daily routine sees me buying the USA TODAY and the NEW YORK TIMES. At age 43 it was my time to stop using alcohol. Food shopping is also a routine at Hannaford NB about 2 times a week. I still drive my Honda. As the saying goes "There's power in a made-up mind" so I challenge folks to enjoy your life to the fullest by abstaining from the vices that may extend you to life! My weight is in control with a weekly reading of 158 lbs. Affirm " I am, I can, and I will" You too may celebrate your Half-Birthday!
