Keeping Promises

Filed under: Health/ Fitness,Life — gardener @ 10:33 am

It’s warm today-   not hot, but warm.  Much warmer weather is coming- and I spent the entire morning making meals that would last us the rest of the week so that I don’t have to spend any time cooking in the heat later this week.

I also baked a cake- which I’ll stick in the freezer and pull out Friday evening for a Saturday afternoon visit from friends- to celebrate (a little early) my birthday.  Plus it’s Independence Day- another reason to celebrate!

Once I finished – I also did the bed linens on both beds, plus vacuumed and mopped the floors- again so that I don’t have to think about it later in the week (except the vacuuming part, which will definitely need it).

By the time I got everything done- I was ready for some chill time-  but I knew I’d promised myself to get on the elliptical daily- and for a nano-second I considered skipping it.    Instead, I got up immediately before I had time to talk myself out of it- or got distracted with something else. and I did the work out.    Granted, it was a hard work-out (which shows how out of shape I am at the moment) but the main thing is I  kept my promise to myself.

Integrity and keeping my word is so important to me, and over the years- I’ve broken promises to myself- which should be held to the same set of standards that I have for the promises I make to others.   It’s one of those life lessons I’m grateful for- and I’m grateful for understanding the importance of keeping my word to me.
