Not giving up… 🐾

But yeah, at times, I just want to throw in the towel, as they say, and just let it all go by... But, I will probably use a lot of "buts" in this post, I am still going. Trying to find ways to get through this. I know the worst of the grief is slowly fading now. I still cry, but a little less. I still miss her every day. But, days come and go, and my life is slowly moving forward, adapting to a life without her, slowly preparing for a life with a new furry companion. I now have little Bas with me here. And, he's really a sweet and cuddly dog, loves walkies and sniffs, and loves to steal my space on my bed... 😇 He enjoys getting in between my legs as I sleep, which is very cute, and nice and warm (mind you, he's on the blankets, not under them), but it's a hassle when you try to move in your sleep, or... When you need to pee very badly. 😂 Still, it does help me to adjust to caring for a dog for a while again... […]

A quotation from Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

The boldest thinker may have his moments of languor and discouragement, when he feels as if he could willingly exchange faiths with the old beldame crossing herself at the cathedral-door, — nay, that, if he could drop all coherent thought, and lie in the flowery meadow with the brown-eyed solemnly unthinking cattle, looking up to the sky, and all their simple consciousness staining itself blue, then down to the grass, and life turning to a mere greenness, blended with confused scents of herbs, — no individual mind-movement such as men are teased with, but the great calm cattle-sense of all time and all places that know the milky smell of herds, — if he could be like these, he would be content to be driven home by the cow-boy, and share the grassy banquet of the king of ancient Babylon. Let us be very generous, then, in our judgment of those who leave the front ranks of thought for the company of the meek non-combatants who follow with the baggage and provisions. Age, illness, too much wear and tear, a half-formed paralysis, may bring any of us to this pass.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809-1894) American poet, essayist, scholar
Article (1860-09), “The Professor’s Story [Elsie Venner],” ch. 18, Atlantic Monthly, Vol. 6, No. 35

The Power of Giving Up

As writers, we’re often advised not to give up in the face of challenges and obstacles. Just keep going! The only one who can stop you from being published is you! You’ll get there!
Globally, over the long term, this is great advice.

I'm giving up on Emily Dickinson. After a hundred or so pages, I just can't muster interest, and I don't think I like "get it" formally. Is it just me?

A quotation from Banksy

   The human race is an unfair and stupid competition. A lot of the runners don’t even get decent sneakers or clean drinking water.
   Some runners are born with a massive head start, every possible help along the way and still the referees seem to be on their side.
   It’s not surprising a lot of people have given up competing altogether and gone to sit in the grandstand, eat junk food and shout abuse.
   What we need in this race is a lot more streakers.

Banksy (b. 1974?) England-based pseudonymous street artist, political activist, film director
Wall and Piece, “Rats” (2005)
