Never Give Up!
One thing you can count on with a Scientologist is persistence. Once we've decided on a task, you can count on it getting done despite whatever roadblocks, thwarts, hell-or-highwater may come.
Scientologists view life as a game, and we generally approach our challenges and problems as such.
Case in point, a very good friend of mine noticed that I've been negligent in my blog postings (oh my GAWD - has it really been three months?) and wanted me to get back in the saddle. First, she started off with a little note saying "Sure do miss those blog postings ..." to which I replied how busy I was, things getting in the way, blah, blah, blah, apologies.
Several days later, she sent an email saying "Sure do miss that blog, don't we Gertrude?". I was in the middle of six bzillion other things when I read this, so my immediate thought was "Who the hell is Gertrude"? Then I got the picture of an old-timer, sitting out on his front porch in Bumpwhap, Oklahoma, rocking back-and-forth saying "Sure do miss that blog ..." Couldn't help laughing at that one and wrote pack promissing to get a posting up.
This morning, she sent me an email that said "...choke ... gasp .... sputter ... " like she'd been holding her breath this whole time. I darned near fell off my chair laughing and here I am, posting to my blog.
My friend kept at it and didn't let me forget. She didn't get frustrated or feel "put off", but simply kept the message going and kept playing the game ... until we both won!
