It is a nasty habit. I can't understand how anyone still takes it up with all the knowledge we have today. Quitting was the hardest thing I ever had to do, and I gained weight then as well, but I am still glad that I quit. 30 years now. xoxoMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-34721530158099668422018-04-02T03:21:56.776+01:002018-04-02T03:21:56.776+01:00I'm guilty of smoking too Marie.

Nasty habit..just play with the ashes thinking that was what ur lungs will be like.

When our little miss, Averi was in the hospital, I would open the door and find loaves of bread, cookies, whole meals and more. Some left anonymously, others left a card, some left with a hug and a tear, but all left with my love. Service is the pure love of Christ.<br /><br />Your mom will be in my prayers. It's so hard to see our sweet moms going through medical crisis, very difficult, you are also in my prayers...always. I was also a smoker, many,many years ago! I watched Bob's dad die an early death because of smoking, and his mom smoked up until about two weeks before she died...she was 84. It's no way to live, they really do control your life.<br /><br />I hope the vinegar and honey help, it will make a difference, I have used it before and still do when I am feeling a little tummy issue coming on. <br /><br />Your comments on the BOM were right on! Over the past 35 years, I feel like I have become a totally different person...I even look different! It's amazing what happiness will do for a person. My life is not perfect, nor am I, but I really do just keep trying...everyday!

My dearest sister Sarah always drunk hot water with cider vinegar in it, she drunk that and that only for years with the exception of her glass of sherry at any excuse !!.....just hope you continue to get relief. Can hardly believe that this time tomorrow we will be up at my friend Fiona and Graham's..in fact we are all going out in the evening to a supper in the village hall...should be interesting....hope you have had a good day. We started with heavy rain but it died down by afternoon to heavy showers. I hope tomorrow will be a dry day ...take care. God Bless.

Will be praying all goes well for your mom. Being put on hold like that had to have made the wait all the worse. I liked that story and it's true about giving and receiving. It's also true what we give we always get back.

It was a really good film, but the main actor was Kevin Spacey and as he's now under a black cloud I'm not sure how available it is.<br /><br />Oh Marie gastro problems are horrendous. I watched my daughter helplessly for years. She was admitted to hospital many times abd even morphine wouldn't ease the pain. I think I mentioned to you before that after many years she was finally diagnosed with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, which basically means her body makes too much histamine. The histamine collects in the gut and causes unbelievable pain. She now takes a lot of anti histamine medication and watchs what she eats as so much food contains histamine. Who knew! Hope you get yours sorted soon.<br /><br />Sending your Mum lots of love and prayers for tomorrow.<br />Have a lovely Wednesday, lots of love xxx<br /><br />kate hazlehursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11765372270255609078noreply@blogger.com
