Once Upon A Time

Once upon a time...
a boy decided to cut coffee (caffeine)
cut cigarettes
become a vegetarian
and be the next world wrestling champion--
all in one day.
Woah! 
The little boy became sick
a general happening.
Weather changes are hard.
All at the same time.
The little boy had breakdowns
several.
Felt he was going crazy.
Maybe he is.
Perhaps he will.
Headaches all day--
kept questioning...
"cut caffeine--duh!"
OH SHIT...he thinks...
that would explain it. 
Going from 8 cups to 1 cup will do that. 
Going from half a pack or more a day to
1 smoke a day...will make you crazy.
This is good though. 
The boy was able to realize what is important
what needed to be done-
scary-but true.
He has begun to break a bad cycle.
Once upon a time....
there was a boy
who was patient with himself
who praised himself for his efforts
who decided to keep working--
breaking patterns
no more guilt.
Ease
do it all with ease. 
Again today 1 cup of coffee
head ache is not there
feeling much better today
still a tad sore in the throat-
but good. 
He wants to smoke sometimes
but realizes that he's done so well--
he HAS to continue.  Not yet making it a completely go away--
but stopping the habits.
Which he knew would be the hardest to stop
thinking it would be easier just to completely stop altogether.
No.
A plan is much better.
Listen to your own heart he tells himself.
Today is a better day.
Money in the account this morning--thank God.
The Secret really does work.
Long weekend...
voice lesson early next week
I need it.  
The boy sits now at his desk
looking at two cows eating grass
smiling...
Back to life...
c'est la vie.
