I know this might be a strange thing to talk about… but here goes.  I like to smoke a couple of cigars a week .  I like the taste and it’s very relaxing.  I have been smoking cigars for about 30 years now.  I had been self-employed when I started.  It was one of the few ways that I could have  time to myself.  No phone, no pager, no interruptions, usually.  It was something I was doing before I had my stroke.  So now it makes me feel more independent.  [normal]

When I first started out   I smoked the cheapest cigars.  I could find.  These items didn’t really taste good, after all I was seeking the taste not to get the high smoking gives you.  So I began looking for a better tasting cigar.  I found one that I liked and stuck to that.  I found the cigar box is handy too.  Real good for storing things , and giving to the grandkids.  These cigars were the inexpensive kind but tasted good, also.

Now,  after my second stroke as I got better I got to thinking… “I’m not getting any younger” so I considered buying a better cigar.  I got on the Internet and found just what I wanted.  Soon, I had a better tasting cigar which I enjoy very much.  [cuban crafters.com]

When a person has a stroke we tend to give up on everything.    I  guess what I’m trying to say here is please don’t give up .  Perhaps, you really enjoyed a good cup of coffee or tea, or maybe a glass of wine, a tasty cold beer, a special candy bar… no matter what… if it won’t kill you perhaps  you can go ahead  .  You are still a person and can make choices.
