As a young child and early in my teens, I was very confident. I wasn't the prettiest, smartest, most athletic, or funniest girl (well..I did win class clown in the 8th grade) as a matter of fact, I was an average teenager...but I was okay with that and pretty comfortable in my own skin. Somewhere along the line....in my teens...there was a decline in that confidence. It wasn't sudden. It was so gradual that I didn't even know it was happening. Years and years went by and I still thought inside I was this confident person I used to be but I wasn't. I was playing the role of the person I used to be. The person I wanted to be again. I didn't know how I lost it...I only know I wanted it back. Fast forward 25 years later and I quit smoking. It wasn't until then that I realized how much smoking had destroyed my confidence in myself. I didn't make the connection until I was free from the addiction. Today, more than ever. I realize how really damaging smoking is for not only physical health but mental health as well. I can honestly say that I am worthy, I am healthy, I am loveable, and I can achieve absolutely anything I want to in this life. Amazing! It wasn't even something I had to do....all I had to do was STOP. Stop putting things in my mouth and lighting them on fire...sounds simple enough, right?? LOL...the funny and ironic thing..is that it really is that simple.

Remember when Jenny and i high jacked one of your posts?? Haha. I kind of felt bad about it but it was hysterically funny and we kept going. I thought you were just kind of a grouchy old man. Nothing like the Bakon we've come to know and love. Thank you from the bottom of my heart all you do for us. Your energy and wonderful "call it like it is" attitude along with a loving and colorful demeanor has made a difference to so many people. You reach people. It's a gift. :)
