Quitting, NOT!!!!
By Kathy Armijo


 


 Quitting
Conjures many ideas


Quitter
Insufficient stamina
Don’t have what it takes


Quit – when it is a good reason to stop
Banging your head against a brick wall
Quit what you are doing just to pause, reflect and recuperate


Quit when the job is
Done
Quit a bad habit


Quit giving in to the “dark side”
Look to the Light
Refocus your energy


Quitting is a good thing
When whatever it is that you are doing
Is taking you below the bottom of the barrel


Quitting is always good to do at the end of the day
Have fun.  Make hay
While there is still life in dem dere bones


Me?  A quitter?
Yep, but for the right reasons
How about you?

As one who six months ago quit a 35 year smoking habit, I salute the notion!

Be well and happy,
Kathy

Quitting, what an Intense STRONG word/words of expression YOU share Kathy!
Me, a quitter, NOPE- The Taurus in me keeps me planted where I shall be!
Filled with Tenacity!
A moment of quit I have not been able to resist, as I stay focused and recharge for what is NEXT!
Write On!
Love this!

Me Quit?????
Maybe, I'll think about it in my tomorrow
which never arrives, because in the coming sunrise
Is just another today....Can you dig that?????
Excellent write Kathy
Peace & love be with you

I stubbornly refuse to quit... I am not into The Stars, but if I were, it could be that Taurus is to blame! :)) I am becoming convinced that my "Never say No!" modus operandi has spent more time working against me than for me in life so far... Perhaps it's time to quit the never-quitting?! Neat writing. Kate xx

You give the reader much to ponder my friend...quitting a simple word that many use daily and never think about the depth of it. Your write reminds the reader to use quitting wisely. Quit the bad habits, the things that oppress, detain, and hold us back while being cautious not to quit such things as our dreams..to always use good judgement before quitting! Well done, inspiring and wise!
Blessings,
Joyce B.

It's good to quit while you're ahead most times. Let's all hope our judgement allows us to quit for positive reasons. This is wisdom in a nutshell.
Love and blessings,
Susan

very well written. Everything in life seems to center on knowing when to quit and when not to quit. Thanks for stating it so well.

Yes quiting is one of those things that can be good as in quitting smoking...Kathy, or bad as in I'm quitting my job because I want to be a beach bum. Good capture of this subject. Good to see you looking outside the box for your topics.

I've never smoked, yet I live with a smoker. I keep praying for Karla, my twin, to quit; yet she's hooked; been smoking thirty years. She does need to quit though; yet it's not my place to tell her to do so. She has to be the one to make that decision, not me. Just pray that she can give up those things; I hate to think of her hooked up to an oxygen tank so she can breathe or having cancer!!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :(

Great write, though; I'm not a quitter either. :) I can't be; I've gotten this far; why stop now???? :)
