a2z 4 u & me – letter Q

Uncategorized


I freaked out when we came up to Q. What would I write? Nothing starts with Q. I wanted to QUIT. But I’m not a QUITTER.

I don’t QUIT. Well, not most of the time. Maybe I was a little bit of a QUITTER in days bygone. Come to think of it, I was a QUITTER. But my husband isn’t. He doesn’t QUIT. He sticks in there, even when things are tough. He’s toughened me up. Encourage some stick-to-it-iveness in me.

I haven’t QUIT writing. I wanted to give up. My husband told me to keep going. My agent told me not to QUIT. And I didn’t. Thanks Doug & Tamela. It is the best feeling to be published! I’m not a QUITTER. I’m going to keep writing until I get published again and again.

I want to QUIT exercising. Really want to QUIT. With my broken toe, I can’t walk. Tennis shoes still hurt. Brian put Doug’s bike on the trainer, which turns it into a stationary bike. I ride that for 30 minutes a day. It hurts my legs. And I sweat. I want to QUIT. But I’m not a QUITTER. I like that I’ve lost some weight and that I can button my pants again. I guess that means I need to submit to that torture again tonight. Ugh.

What is it that you want to QUIT? Why won’t you QUIT?

And by the way, don’t QUIT commenting on yesterday’s post. You don’t want to miss out on a chance to win a copy of my book and a delicious candle!!

  1. I have moments of wanting to quit, as I suppose we all do at times. But they’re temporary. Mostly I’m too stubborn to quit (even when I probably should on some things that aren’t all that important), LOL.

  3. I’m just now learning how to not quit on writing projects and not yet quite learned how to not quit on crafts. But in the rest of life I’m pretty tenacious. Only about 15% of people graduate from the college program I was in, and I had health issues and a learning disability working against me, but with God pushing me on, how could I quit? 🙂

  5. Oh my. I’d like to quit WORRYING. DIETING. WORRYING. EXERCISING. WORRYING. I see a theme here…
    There are things NOT to quit, and things we need to quit, and I need to learn to tell the difference between them! Great post!

  9. Hmmm…I thought I commented on this, but it’s not showing up so maybe I quit the page too soon! 😉
    Anyway, thanks for a good post! I have toughened up a lot as years have gone by in terms of quitting, too. Most of the time now I’m too stubborn to quit!
