Though usually observed in the spring, the date varies, depending on climate and suitable planting season.

I stopped by the supermarket the other day in a small town in NC and saw a pack of Marlboro's open, with a goodly amount of cigarettes in it, sitting on top of one of  the recyling barrels outside the local BiLo.  The day before I had seen someone out there smoking.  Was it theirs?  Had they forgotten it?  Next day I saw the same pack of cigarettes in the same place.  Was this a BiLo employee who just left their cigarettes there for their smoke breaks?  Were they offering them to others as a "gift" by leaving them there?

The first time I saw them there was a passing thought - "ah, my brand" and "oh I could take one of those and smoke it.  I could even take the whole pack home for that matter."  I didn't particularly WANT one.  But that was the thought.  And of course I quickly dismissed it.  I don't steal, for one, and I don't smoke any more - for another.  But I found the thought curious.  And the next day when I saw them again, I wondered AGAIN not only WHY they were there, but why nobody had taken them. 

Was I tempted?  Not really.  Although i admit the thought to take them WAS there.  Finder's keepers type of thing.  But i didn't desire one.  Perhaps it was just an old "memory."  The fact that I've rememberd the experience, however, says much to me.  I NOTICED them there.  Even after 10 years smoke free.  And had that thought.  Not the desire to smoke - just the thought.  That's enough to tell me I continue to need to pay attention to my quit.  That's all. And so I do.... by taking your hand, Christine, and continuing to promise not to smoke and offering my other hand to the next Pledgling to fly in with their revelations.
