Seeing a notification that one of your latest "150 Words" has landed in my Inbox means several things. The first hits right away - an immediate smile, because I now have something to look forward to reading. The second is the ability to relate to something you have written. On the latter, I did several head nods on your thoughts on "pulling the plug". But it was your conclusion that really hit home - giving voice on ways to overcome those thoughts - by offering "The key to finishing was to stop focusing on why I wanted to quit and come up with better reasons to keep going. " Simple, yet powerful....love it!

You’re too tough to quit.

And you’re not a quitter either.

Great job on finishing.

Great read too

Deep gravel is for logging trucks. No idea how y’all managed that in a bike. Wow
