Diet Coke free

Hey, I made it (so far) and haven't had any diet coke for about two weeks now. I'm feeling great and drinking water like it's going out of style. I also chew quite a bit of gum. I just need to have something in my mouth! I saw a billboard the other day advertising a new diet coke made with splenda and had a fleeting thought of "Hey, I could drink that instead!" But knowing I'm an all or nothing kind of person, I decided to stay away from it altogether. I still crave it from time to time and miss drinking something sweet, but most of the time it's no big deal.

sun shines warm and bright
coaxing little buds to bloom
joy radiating
