What do I say? It's my day to blog. I haven't missed a blog since we began this, and I don't intend to start now, but I just don't know what I'm supposed to say today. Usually by the time I sit down and begin writing, the message becomes pretty clear, but today the message seems to be that I don't know what to write here.
While I feel the need to fulfill my obligations to my beloved company by keeping my commitments to it and my cohorts, I also question filling a post with blather just so I can say I've blogged on all of my days. What is more important here: keeping my commitment or saying something clever or meaningful? Since I'm writing this and will most likely hit 'publish post' when this is done, I'm guessing that today my answer is keeping commitments.
Maybe that's my message today. If you make a commitment, keep it. It feels better in the long run. There are just a few people I know in this world who keep to their word no matter what. All of these people make their promises very carefully and won't commit unless they know they can follow through. It's an admirable and rare trait to possess. I don't think it need be so rare.
I shall endeavor to only give my word when I know I can keep it and then always keep it. I shall endeavor to do this because it feels good. Conversely, it feels creepy and crappy when I don't keep my promises, so it is logically a behavior I should avoid.
So keep your promises people! Remember what Luisa Capetillo said before being the first woman to wear pants in public:
"If you make a deal, don't break it. 'Cuz welching on a deal is just a lot of horse crap!"
Well, in Mary Ellsnor's vision Luisa Capetillo said this. Probably not in real life. But I'm sure she would agree with the sentiment!
Love you all.
