It has been four years and 113 days in a row since I quit smoking.
I did 16-time push-ups for the third successive day and kept over
10-time push-ups for the nineteenth straight day.
Very very unfortunately, weather reports say it'll continute to be
cloudy or rainy for the next one week from tomorrow, when I am planning
to go to the Yamazaki River to enjoy cherry blossoms just past their peak.
Last year I remeber I couldn't enjoy them fully because of my work schedule
and this year again, I'm less likely to enjoy them fully due to weather conditions.
Anyway, I know well that cherry blossoms are surely beautiful
even under adverse weather conditions.

Four years and 112 days in a row have passed since I kicked smoking.

day including the most recent two days of 16 times.
It's greatly and beautifully sunny today and I'm sure today is the
best day for the viewing of cherry blossoms but actually I have to work.
I'm planning to enjoy them on Wednesday, so I really have to pray
that the blossoms will remain in full bloom until then....Please.

I was able to keep no-smoking for four years and 111 days in a row.
I tried increasing the number of push-ups by only one time to 16 times
and kept over 10-time push-ups for the seventeenth straight day.
It was quite cloudy early this morning but about one hour ago, it
started raining, so I decided to stop going to the Yamazaki River to
see cherry blossoms.
At any rate, thereis much more precipitation in Nagoya during the
winter and spring period this year.....(heck ＾＾；）

It has been four years and 110 days in a row since I stopped smoking.
I was able to keep 15-time push-ups for the third consecutive day and kept
over 10-time push-ups for the sixteenth successive day.
Again, it's greatly sunny today and cherry blossoms have come into bloom
and are steadily opening toward full bloom.
Unlike the prediction, I think they will not reach full bloom tomorrow,
maybe 50 % at best.
Anyway the cherry blossom season has come.

Four years and 109 days in a row have passed since I gave up smoking.
I was able to keep over 10-time push-ups for the fifteenth straight day
including the latest two days of 15 times.
It's greatly sunny in Nagoya today and as far as I can see, cherry blossoms
on the way to my work place are beginning opening though the declaration of
blossoming was issued about six days ago.
The color of pale pink is really refreshing and exciting.
Anyway I HAVE TO go and enjoy them the day after tomorrow.
