Take a decision

That always sounds funny to me.  In the USA we usually say make a decision.  G. Gordon points out it is not proper use of the Queen's english.  There are several choices and you take one.  No big deal how you say it but important to consider options and choose the ones that will be best for you.  Life is to live.  We have our lives and if we want to be sky-divers we can do it and I say do it.  If you don't mind being overweight, eat drink and be merry.  There may be health consequences so be aware and do what makes you happy.

My brother-in-law (I think I mentioned him in a previous blog) enjoyed smoking.  He was in great shape.  He got cancer and died within 6 months.  If we could go back in time and know the result, I wonder if he would have taken a non-smoking path.  Just staying alive for the sake of being alive seems a bit empty to me.  But he had golf!  He also loved fishing and hunting.  He had his share of the good life.  I just noticed, by way of a typo) that if you take the f out of life it spells lie.  Now I know what's missing from my life. 

The weather here has been too hot for much work to be accomplished.  This morning was different.  It was cool when I awoke, so after a while I came down and laid on the couch with a quilt and my novel.  It was pleasant lying there except for the cat issues.  That's how I would have it most every day;
cool in the morning, warming up to no more than 75 F.  Partly cloudy and every third or fourth day, rain. 
Good bye for now, and remember, IF you have decided this, YOU ARE A NON-SMOKER AND WILL REMAIN A NON-SMOKER FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!
