I’m not one to easily throw in the towel
There’s a stubborn streak in me that stops me
From giving in, admitting defeat until I’ve given it my best
Be it a difficult life challenge or a simple DIY project
Or perhaps when I’m looking for something I’ve misplaced
It’s not that I’m very egocentric or arrogant
It’s just that I’m a tiny bit mule-headed often
And saying I can’t do it comes hard to me
So I’ll keep on it till I get the job done
Or realize that it IS really beyond me
Then I will throw in the towel, and sponge too!

Your prompt for #JusJoJan the 28th and Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “throw in the towel.” Use the phrase “throw in the towel” somewhere in your post. Enjoy!

Stubbornness and mule-headedness can get you through some tough times. So many people don’t realize what an asset stubbornness can be! Well said, Sadje! 💞💞💞
