Hi Vera. I found it ironic when you wrote in my journal "365 "NOs" and next year we will be richer in every way!"
Here’s why….Four months ago I printed out calendar pages with every month through the end of 2012. I hung up four of the pages in my bedroom on the wall and I started to mark the days I gambled with a red x and the ones that I didn’t gamble I marked with a green x. The first two months were shameful. I almost had more red x’s than green. But I finally got help and now I have had 8 weeks of green x’s! The irony of this is, is that here in America a slang name for money is "green." If someone says, "give me some green." they are saying, "give me some money." After reading your post, I was looking at my calendar on the wall and I thought to myself while looking at the last two months worth of green x’s, "Wow, that’s the most "green" I’ve seen in a long time!" Not only do I have more green x’s, but I have more green (money) too! I am going to take down the four sheets and hang up the whole year’s worth of calendar pages on my wall (it’s going to take up my whole wall, but oh well!) A year from now I am going to be looking at 365 green x’s!!! (and hopefully more of the other green too, but if not…..it’ll be alright.) Thanks for your post Vera and here’s to making each day a green day!
