Hello Diary.
Two months ago was Christmas Day with reindeer in the sky

Enjoying all my gamble free days with very few regrets
Good riddance to the betting shops, machines and stupid bets.

Answer to the call
With hands on hearts let's sing out loud
It's time to Rock n Roll
Â
Wishing everyone a contented weekend of gamble-free adventures.
Aum ?
Hi Stephen
Rock and Roll indeed! Because we are allowed to enjoy our recovery. We're on a positive path... We don't have to wear sackcloth while we do it ?
And Latin music can be some of the most uplifting there is. And so, in a nod to Spinal Tap, let's turn that amp up to 11 ?
Here's to an enjoyable, and the sunniest for a long while. weekend Stephen!
Â
Â
Thank you for visiting my diary Roch. I enjoyed a listen to Spinal Tap.
Extended my walk tonight. It has been a lovely evening with a beautiful full moon.
Enjoyed reading the posts on your diary today Roch. Good idea to make lists.Â
Â
Aum ?

Good morning Stephen on this last day of February ([quickly checks calendar for the year; yep - it is 🙂 ]. I agree the nights are getting interesting, as are indeed the mornings, as we herald Spring! I'm loving the sunrises and sunsets and wonder if there really might be a divine force out there, making these incredible tapestries of the sky .....
Another day none the less. Yesterday's gone, tomorrow's a mystery. So it's all about today.
And, consequently, I'm wishing you, Stephen, a Sunday of peace, fulfilment and enjoyment. Â

Hello Diary.
Feeling very jolly on this warm and sunny day
Hull seems quite serene as I venture on my way
Quacking ducks ecstatic as I throw them tasty oats
They eat it very quickly on the water where it floats
Â
Stroll by the Marina - admiring yachts and boats
Short-sleeved people passing have abandoned scarves and coats
Everyone looks joyful - children laugh and play
Gamble-free is the way to be on such a lovely day.
Â
Aum?
Just listening to somebody on the radio singing " What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted."
Â
I know what happened to him ?.
Â
He stopped gambling.
Changed his name to Aum.
And lived happily ever after.
???
Feeling good.
225 Days Gamble Free.
1st day of March and the start of a new week.
Â
Monday's child keeps off the slots and doesn't have a bet.Â
Tuesday's child has realised it doesn't do to fret.
Wednesday's child stays off the fobts and takes the spouse to dinner.
Thursday's child is gamble-free so surely is a winner.
Friday's child avoids the dogs and galloping horses too.
Saturday's child with family enjoys a treat or two.
And the child that's born on the sabbath day can laugh, dance and sing, regardless of the challenges that life can sometimes bring.
Â
Wishing everyone on the diaries success, contentment and happy days.
Aum ?
ah your doing great aum , keep it up and love the poetry , before you know it be a year.
It is wonderful to know that you are entering your 227th day gambling free Aum, with a consistent approach to go with it. I am in your footsteps, on Day 50 and I look forward to "clinking glasses" with you when you reach your 277th day...
However we never ever get ahead of ourselves although it's good to look forwards to a better life, one day at a time.
'Tis Tuesday, Spring is springing and who knows what today will bring? Serenity and peace if mind at the end of it - we'll take that, Stephen ?
Many thanks for posting on my diary Dave & Roch. I appreciate your support and encouragement.
Â
Morning Diary.

And now I feel assured 'bout things that I should do
Â
Aum ?
Your doing amazing aum keep it up wishing you all the best for the futureÂ

229 days gamble free Stephen! I thought I'd celebrate this eclectic number, because normally, 229 doesn't mean anything to anyone, but today, for you, it matters a great deal. Because just for today Stephen, you've made a vow not to gamble!
According to Google, the number 229 is characterised by creativity and expression, being the mark of extroverted and communicative people, who love to talk, exchange ideas. In spirituality, the number 229Â is considered as the union between the bodies, the spirit and the mind, representing, therefore, people who seek to maintain balance.
And isn't that one of the finer benefits of not gambling? We find ourselves.
Stephen, I wish you a fantastic Friday. Cold it might be, but I know that, as you traverse your home town, you will rightly have a spring in your step 🙂
