All my life I have seen people stick to what they set out to do and succeed where I have a smorgasbord of unfinished projects and just-started ideas. BUT, and this is important, maybe I don't get the rewards but I sample much more than they do and thus my diet is not a diet but a never ending succession of delights taken, tried and often left unfinished. Which is better: one solitary meal or a picnic of tasty dishes each quickly discarded in favour of the next? Variety is sunshine of life, remember that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817753888677310454.post-69613736706147677042013-01-09T06:28:23.857+08:002013-01-09T06:28:23.857+08:00I am the opposite of a quitter.

Which can cause some problems. I.Just. Will. Not. Quit! <br />Oh, hang on, I am a quitter when it comes to fitness and diets. Yeah, I quit those fairly easily (no prompting necessary).<br />I guess it comes down to the things that you actually enjoy and mean something, and those you don't! <br />Leanne @ Deep Fried Fruithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00886017636780724635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817753888677310454.post-23527515025887155602013-01-08T18:52:58.103+08:002013-01-08T18:52:58.103+08:00Hi Rhianna, you are not alone.

I like the advice of the others - focus on those!

Because you have done lots and I know I love reading each of your posts! BTW, maybe we should get together and complete our cross-stitches - maybe we'd have a chance if we did it together!!!!

Could you go back and finish your cross stitch if there is only a bit to go, it is still a lovely keepsake and then it may have taken you a while to complete it but at least you did!<br />Same with the degrees, is there an option to restart where you left off? Maybe that could be an option. xxrhian @melbshttp://www.theonlywayismelbourne.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817753888677310454.post-59615113277455100662013-01-07T09:29:59.785+08:002013-01-07T09:29:59.785+08:00Oh sweetie!

Maybe that's what you are too? You just haven't got around to finishing your degrees yet. Or that cross stitch. Or the jewellery. But one day you might!<br />And you haven't mentioned anything that you haven't quit. Hey? There is this blog of yours for a start! How far does it go back? Back to 2008, thank you very much! And your family. You haven't quit that!
