What are some possible reasons for interruption (of an activity, a course, pursuit of a goal, etc.)?
  • Insufficient resources to go on
  • Lost motivation to continue
  • Shifted priorities elevate a change in direction for travel
What's new? You can't have it both ways. Hopefully these musings will reach good (or at least pertinent) stopping points before discontinuation. Plenty of links and backlinks. Let's hope you know how to use them.

No Duh

Stick to your guns.

If you think there is a reason to absorb more madness than is humanly possible I will caution you: none of us is wild about the alternatives.
