Thank you God.

Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings.
Thank you, God, that I can hear.
There are many who are deaf.



Even though I keep my eyes closed against the morning light as long as possible.
Thank you, God, that I can see.
Many are blind.

Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising.
Thank you, God, that I have the strength to rise.
There are many who are bedridden.

Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when socks are lost, toast is burned and tempers are short, my children are so loud.
Thank you, God,for my family.
There are many who are lonely.

Even though our breakfast table never looks like the pictures in magazines and the menu is at times unbalanced.
Thank you, God, for the food we have.
There are many who are hungry.

Even though the routine of my job often is monotonous.
Thank you, God, for the opportunity to work.
There are many who have no job.

Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day and wish my circumstances were not so modest.
Thank you, God, for life.

Or are you thinking about picking up smoking?

My hubby came home from work a couple of weeks ago, declaring I'm doing this because of you kids! The kids have been bugging him to stop smoking, he has been getting a lot of nagging from them. Here are some of the stuff that he has been getting from Nayli and Zarif:

  • Papa, did God ask you to smoke? (Zarif) - must be because he sees his Papa smokes "religiously"!!!
  • "Papa, don't you pity me?", Nayli said one day. "Why Nayli?", her father asked. "Well, just think. I will be left on my own with my brothers and Mama is all alone to take care of us. You smoke all the time! My teacher said, ... Smokers have the tendency to die early! Who's gonna take care of us when you're gone?", answered Nayli.
Thanks to them, I don't have to say anything, ha!ha! Well, looks like their nagging works. Hubby bought himself this E-cigarettes. Have you heard of this before? I haven't. Apparently, it looks, feels, tastes like a cigarette but it isn't one! Difficult to believe? I know!

It's supposed to give smokers a real "smoking" experience without the dangerous chemicals, carcinogens, fire, tobacco, tar, carbon monoxide, ash or smell found in real cigarettes. There are no side effects and not detectable by smoke detectors.

I can confirm that yes, I have to agree with the smoke and smell bit. Hubby never smokes when we are in the car with him. However, since the E-Ciggy, he can smoke even without winding down the windows. No smell & smoke, just vapour. It's even safer than Shishas. Amazing!

So ladies, if your hubby is still smoking the conventional ciggys, time to introduce this to him eh? Check out their website at smokerhaven. Just don't get attracted by their Shisha Strawberry and Chocolate Indulgence flavoured catridges though!
