Good Morning Val and Joan
How are you both this morning/afternoon here

Joan I hope you are doing OK

Beautiful Day her today nice and sunny and reasonably hot but not too hot.
Going to be a scorcher tomorrow though

Just been to pick my Grandchildren up from Kung Fu. They are staying with me tonight while my Son and his wife have a night out. Sleeping over too.
They are watching a DVD at the moment so have a few minutes to myself lol
I never know what they want to do next though once that is finished. Draughts, Dominoes, Yatsee, Drawing etc. They usually keep me busy lol

Hope Everyone is going OK and that you are not too stressed out.
Keep up the good work take it just one day at a time.
Hugs
Jackie

Keith,i have this picture in my head of you trying to light the spray and like the cartoon cigar it exploding and you left their looking bewildered with this shredded spray tube sticking out of your mouth !!!!

So have any of you had a count up of how many cigs less you have had this week ?

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road your trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and its turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When they might have won, had they stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victors cup;
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when your hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit!

Those are great words of encouragement Blue Moon,

which I'm sure will give our "no-smokers" a boost.

Keep it up all of you.
