The Ciggie Count Is Down To 4 by Joan SerratelliThe count is now 4
and still going down
maybe tomorrow
I'll only smoke 3
This whole thing
has been amazing to me
I never ever thought
I'd quit
not so easily
But I've made it
this far
and there's no
turning back
I've come this far
and I've lived
to tell the tale

Posted by Julie Adams on 04/17/06 at 06:27 PM love how honest this piece is, and as for being down to 4--CONGRATS!!! It is a difficult task, but not insurmountable...your heads gotta be there tho, so keep reaffirming your goal everyday...and consider the alternative--how many extra days you'll have to share with those you love...great going! Thanks for sharing, peace, jewels |
