Quitters’ charter – 100 words

January 12, 2023 By Ellen

Quitters’ charter No to caring about bulges – yes to a body that lifts weights. No to suffering for weeks then quietly giving up – yes to climbing more hills. No to being more like her – yes to ‘who cares? This is me’. No to finishing books that bore – yes to ‘this looks […]
