I’ve pondered and pondered what to say on my 10 Year Anniversary that would be different from all the previous anniversary blogs I’ve written. What could I say that wouldn’t replicate and reiterate the gratitude felt for those who have stood by my side, journeyed with me, the perseverance necessary, the steadfastness required and the ongoing symphony of the NOPE song.
But then I realize that, of course, the story doesn’t alter that much from year to year. Not after that first year’s amazing milestone. The same truths that presented themselves way back when are ever-echoing.
This site is a great gift. Open it and you will find a treasure map. But you must read the instructions carefully and pay attention to the clues all along the way. The jeweled chest at the end contains only one glowing, precious object - your Forever Quit.
It’s difficult to locate only if you pay no mind to the wisdom offered and stray from the path of perseverance. “WHEN will cravings end,” ask the Newbies “Does it matter?” replies Commitment.
Why do I have a 10 year quit? Because I read, I listened, I promised, I paid attention, I stood fast and I believed that it would get better.
You know what? IT DOES!!!!!
Follow the map and you will obtain the treasure too. But once in hand, neglect it not, lest it disintegrate into another day one.
Here’s to all of you warriors!
