Dear God:Today, I am thankful for "no smoking" laws.
I stopped accompanying my husband to favorite brew pubs and sports bars many years ago because I hate the smoky indoor pollution. So, no one was more pleased than I when the Colorado legislature passed a far-reaching smoking ban that went into effect last July.
Last night, after an afternoon of rock climbing, we visited an old haunt - a popular sports bar that's been off-limits to me for years because of the smoke. The place was abuzz with college football games on the HDTVs and a raucous Saturday night crowd.
The icy cold microbrews were perfect with the roasted garlic and pepperoni pizza. S and I stayed for only a few hours - we were too weary from climbing to manage a long night on the town. The bonus - we arrived home with fresh-smelling clothes and happy lungs.
For this blessing, I am grateful.
Amen.
