I quit!

My friend JS (emerging from hibernation) shared this blog with me today: Why I'm Trying to Become a Quitter.

This blog hits home for me, not necessarily because I have a problem saying no. I don't think my biggest problem is saying no initially. But once I say yes, I sometimes find myself in the middle of something that might not be super fun. Or at least I find that I'm miserable.

I have an inability to quit things. Even if I'm miserable. I think, I just have to get through this and I'll look back and say I learned something from it. Well, what I've learned is that I'd pretty much rather be miserable than quit something.

Maybe that's not such a bad thing, but after reading that blog post, I thought the idea of quitting as many things as I can midstream might be therapeutic for me. Quitting things that I've been doing for so long, just because I've been doing them...

Like SCHOOL! Goodbye law school!

Or not smoking! Hello smoking!

Or brushing my teeth! Welcome, cavities!

This may be brash, but once I decide to do it, there's no quitting!!

Winners never quit and quitters never win. If you ain't first, you're last!

P.S. the verification word is juger. Translate that from french and you get "to try"...but in the sense of the court system (to judge)

dear george, i guess it depends on how you define "win." haha. and that's not true...you can be second, or third, or fourth. or heck, even fifth!

i think this website is one of those "smart" ones that puts up words/advertisements based on the webpages you visit. haha.

I *would* like to see you quit a few of the things you claim to hate, but then what would you complain about?
