life on wry

Life as a sandwich generation x’er, stacked with irony. As a ‘normal’ person peering out from the boundaries of suburbia, as a transplant from another state, maybe another planet. As a mother of teenage boys and freelance working writer balancing parenting with helping to care for my mother. And now as an only child of a mother with Alzheimer’s (which sucks).

Tag Archives: don’t quit

April 2, 2013

On quitting. Or not.

 

dont quitThis quote appeared on my Facebook news-feed today.  It’s an oldie but a goodie and one of the many quotes and poems over the years which was honored by tape on my wall at some point.

 

Seeing this again made my day.

 

When have you been glad that you stuck it out?
