Promises, promises

I was reading through a few old posts when I came across one at the beginning of 2009, in which I said:

I love today's affirmation:
I keep my promises; People can depend on me.

For far too long, I haven't exactly been the kind of person that people depend on. Sure, when there's a family emergency, I'm there. When there's a crisis, I might show up. Other than that? Not really.

But today is the first day of the rest of my life, and I'm changing that.

I keep my promises. People can depend on me.


In retrospect, that seems eerily prophetic. About a month after I wrote that, there was a family emergency, and the whole year was a family crisis. But I kept my promises, and people could depend on me.


It's good to look back and reflect from time to time...and reflecting on what I'd said, I've realised that I've grown quite  a bit. People depend on me, whether at home or at work...and I do my best to keep my promises.
