Thank you so much Stephen and Debsy!  You are two wonderful souls, and whilst there are many good souls here, it's a real pleasure to make your acquaintance 🙂 

Anonymous we will forever be. But very much *real*, too!

Thank you Debsy 🙂

I didn't gamble yesterday, Day 61, and today, I vow, just for today, not gamble. Day 62.

The days, as is life, are rushing by, but soooooooo much better without gambling 🙂

A soulful man with nerves of steel

Turned his back on the spinning wheel

That was nine long weeks ago and Roch is looking good

Living life respectfully just like he knows he should. 

 

Aum ?

Thank you Stephen for some wonderful inspirational poetry.

And to borrow from The Beatles ... when I'm 64 ... which I am today, that is; 64 days gambling free.

Day 65 today. Just to today I will not gamble. I will review my blocks today to make sure when lockdown ends I can't gamble evening I wanted to. Preparation and planning is everything.

Excellent Roch. 

Science based studies conducted around the world agree that it takes 66 days to develop a new habit.

So now you have done the hard work you can sit back with your feet up and relax.

 

Aum ?

Thanks Stephen, that's an interesting snippet.  I'm glad I'm now one day ahead of that, at Day 67.   Just for today, I am not going to gamble.

A ship-shape vessel caught my eye

Departing from the dock

Weather-worn and stoical

Reminded me of Roch

 

Who too is on a voyage

With hatches battened down

And if the crew don't mutiny

He'll neither weep or frown

 

His voyage of discovery

The mission to be free

A man of courage and honour 

In search of liberty. 

 

Wishing you a great weekend.

Aum ?

Thank you Stephen, I really enjoyed that poem.  You really have a love of and a command of words. It's a real pleasure to read.

And Day 68 of no gambling heralds another day with that precious peace of mind.
