Don’t Quit! – II

that is quite encouraging.. i do have my days, but i’ve found much faith.

Aw, Nunz. I love it. I’m gonna steal it for my journal *yank!* I sometimes seem down and upset, but I’m really not. I have a wonderful life, an awesome family, and the best friends in the world. I have so very much to be grateful for, but sometimes I just need a slap on the ass.

Someone gave this to my mother a million years ago and I always remember it stuck to the wall with thumbtacks or sticky tape, no matter where we were, it was always up somewhere. She pulled it out again when my marriage was ending and stuck it to my fridge with magnets, where it still is, next to the ‘How to Quit Smoking’ article she ripped out of a magazine. Sometimes, often times…

I get them mixed up. I mean, the only thing I don’t quit is smoking. Anyway, it’s good that you shared this.

Beautiful – thank you for sharing. Yes, I do tend to let out the more depressing of my moments in the journaling. However, most days I am very happy and optimistic – and I will never give up. LOL – “never give up. never surrender!”, just one of my many mottos 😉 RYN: LOL, neither, but a fun idea for future moments!!!!

I want to thank you for this… I think I needed it today. And I think I will put it to use tonight, and tomorrow, and for days to come. To get by, you know. So, thank you.

“Success is failure turned inside out” This is a great statement! Think I will print this out and tack it up on the wall too! :o)

“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.” -Helen Keller Of all the inspirational quotes I’ve read, that has hit the closest, and helped me through the darkest of days. Thank you for posting yours, I hope it helps.

RYN:…you’re welcome. i might make an entry about the backseat musings… lol… anyways i know what you mean about all the dark diary entries. i try to keep mine light but sometimes it’s hard. that’s a great inspirational piece and i’m sure it’ll come in handy for many people at one time or another… 🙂 keep writing

RYN: I’ll admit that I didn’t read that entry all the way through, but did read the majority of the points that you had highlighted. The point that I was trying to make was – how could you even consider that you could mean more to her than her own flesh and blood?! – although it probably wasn’t voiced very well. As for “beating you up about your opinion’s”, that was not how my note was intended…

…and I apologise if that was how it was read. As for making judgements about you, that was not what I was doing either, I was writing a response based on what you had written and nothing else. I accept that it is your opinion and that I can’t change that and wouldn’t want to change it (as you said the world would be very boring if we all thought alike), I just hope you can accept my opinion…

..on what you wrote in your entry as I have accepted yours on the subject of your entry. Best Wishes

thanks for being so kind of you to give encouragement… though i’ve read this so many times before… its still as inspiring.

thank you my friend, i shall be printing this out.

Looks like you have enough notes but that was a great piece! Cort

thanx, that really does help

I’ve seen this before and it is a wonderful thing to read when your spirits are low.

hello, i found u through some one i have been noting (beerluver4ever.) ur note about her poem made me interested. i agree w/ you about ppl seeming to be really sad in here. one of the reasons i write is to vent about the hardships of the day, the awesome moments and to mostly try to help others. i see that you want to help also. i guess i just want to commend u for caring. 🙂 *me (mila)

I have noticed that too. Young kids shouldn’t be faced with some of the problems I’ve seen here. Those are encouraging words, I hope they help.

nice

I’m not quite sure what to make of your message but I’m taking it as a compliment. What, you couldn’t believe it was my idea to wear it???

ryn: Actually, I did say those things for real. I figure as long as I don’t show up and annouce who I am then I’ll be ok. Then again the only harm I threatened was to hit someone, but if the grinch burned someone’s house down, purely coincidental. 🙂

ryn: I don’t even know if ego is a strong enough word to capture what was needed for that party! ;o) btw, I have to ask if your “name” is a derivative of your real name. Knew someone many moons ago in my hometown with this nickname. My age (20’s… lol ok, geez…. early 40’s). Wouldn’t that be a co-ink-e-dink?!?!? haha

ryn: lol!!! smartass…. ;o)~

ryn. umm thank you. but you essentially made the same point 4 times which puts me on edge. i understand about community. and cliques {smile} not sure I owe an obligation to make my diary public fair ground. or that I am wrong for considering options. Your point is well taken however.

RYN: Getting a pedicure regularly might be worth working at this crappy job longer lol. Those are heaven!!

ryn: :o( no, not Joyce. And this would have been waaay before ’97. Think ’70’s And in a much colder climate! ha Red tie , huh??? Hmmm… power color. lol

Thank you for your note…and for skimming my latest entries.

that was great, encouraging and memorable.

lovely…

*cries*

Thank you. 🙂

thanks for the note. i love this poem…

Thank you. Sincerely.

Ryn: Thank you Nunzio, you’re right. I’m not quitting or getting down or anything, just tired the last couple of weeks. I don’t give up, never have, and I will land on my feet, always do. Thank you very much though. I’ve just been venting mostly. : )

Thank you

I love that poem, thanks for posting it

That is great, It gives me hope when sometimes I feel like I have no left. Beautiful!!

I have always liked “Don’t Quit” but my favorite of all time is “When I’m an Old Lady” Be well,Monica

I love that.

Thank you.

I bet if you enlarge that image you’ll be able to see part of her nipple.

You’re a beautiful man. Thank you.

Thank you. And God bless you, too. You are a caring man.

That is a long way of saying “Thou shalt die clenched up…” 😉
