Have you ever found that it is easy to keep promises to other people, but sometimes not so easy to keep promises to yourself?? Well, it has been a problem for me, probably only me, some kind of character flaw? Anyway, about 6 weeks ago I promised myself that I would walk at least 30 minutes a day three times a week. Simple, yes, easy, not always.
For a reason I will leave out here, my "promise" week starts on Monday and ends on Sunday. This week I had trouble from the start but had two days down by Thursday evening. Now its SUNDAY and I KNEW I had to do the last walk. Well, below you can see I had a great day and I didn't get home until after 7 and it felt like 10 p.m. (I know, it wasn't).
Anyway, I was sitting on the couch and REALLY grappling with this. I was trying to rationalize skipping it, forgive myself in advance, promise to make it up next week. . . and then I remembered that I had PROMISED myself that I would do this. FINALLY, at 10:45 p.m I did it - I got up - put on several layers of clothes (hey, its 40 degrees out there!)and walked the neighborhood for 40 minutes.
For me. . . this is SO HUGE. Major personal let down averted! Thank you Lord!

Congratulations! That is exactly what you have to do, because once you don't meet that goal it is just the beginning. Keep up the good work.
