This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for December 02, 2008:
Oh dear... am I terrible because I don't ever make any promises?
Maybe there is a reason that I don't, like it's just impossible to be certain that something isn't going to come along and change the circumstances!
Right now, the closest thing I'd come close to is to commit to a date or something like that; but rarely a time! And that date would have to come inspired!
If other people will be involved in the delivery, I know I'll have a challenge to promise much. So I give lots of leeway by offering a date sometime in future and then work it backwards. If I come in earlier, then great. Surely nothing to lose!
I just don't like making commitments that I might not be able to fulfil. I don't think that's so terrible lol
Peace & blessings.

not terrible at all :)
Me neither. Somehow I am in the moment. Isn't NOW the place to be these days? I have good reason to leave the past there and reason not to plan for a future than can only be predicted.
Almost everyone around me has lists of “to be(s)”, “to do(s)” and “thens” and “whens”.
Few are left to commit. Except those who maybe should be committed.
I have no lists of commitments/promises. I MADE A PROMISE, ONCE!
Sometimes I feel that maybe I am/or should be committed
Hi Shirl!
Mary, you made me laugh out loud.
Not sure who would commit you? What's sane anyway?
So, now. Onto the Now.
Have a great day.

you have committed to be love in the moment….yes??…mmmfeels good….
I do back flips to keep promises made to children but generally the only promise
I feel can be made with integrity is: I promise to do my best
much love
Yes, I truly do try my best to fulfil and I usually get it done. But I don't get any joy from having someone set their expectations up and risk upsetting them. I think everyone knows my intention and I'm usually not pressed to do more than this.
Backflips :D How cool! lol
