If Wishes Were Horses Beggers Might Ride

If Wishes Were Horses Beggers Might Ride is part of an old nursery rhyme...I forget the other stanza...I think it was something like if turnips were swords I'd wear one at my side...It just means that if wishes were horses the most destiture among us would have all desired material things. The point was that we can not have a smoke free life simply by wishing for it; we must also truly intend to have it and do so with a sense of hope that the goal is possible; simply because it is, possible that is...

Thank you so much. I too have always admired your tenacity as I know that you fought hard and long initially. Now it looks as if you are sneaking up on that full trip around the sun. That's getting it done. No more blue Sundays for you...

Nonic,

Truly I enjoyed reading your post! It was excellent.

Riverdale Man,

Its nice to see you on the boards. Glad your quit is moving nicely along. I'm sure your beagle just loves a smoke free atmosphere! I know my two beagles do!!!!!

I'm sure all pets do. They've been such a big part of my quit. They keep me grounded, bless their little howling hearts!!!!!

All the best,

Jan
