A man is only as good

A Man is Only as good as his word

You have to be a man of your word.  Man/woman whatever you are. I try very hard to keep my word but sometimes things happen beyond my control. It could be anything from forgetting to roll up the hose in the back yard to leaving the coffee pot on all day and burning the bottom of the pot. That has not ever really happened. It's just an example.

I will say, “It will never happen again.” Then six months a year go by and BAM it happens again. So at this point, I am no longer a woman of my word. I did say, “It will never happen again” didn’t I?

After all your word is everything.  That’s what relationships are based on right. Keeping your word. No matter what. This is just too difficult and to many things keep happening that are out of my control (my aging mind). A bird flew by and distracted me, I had to answer the phone or just the old “that wasn’t me” “I wasn’t even in the room.”  Whatever, it was me and I did it again. There is no way I can weasel my way out of it. I have to take it like a woman and admit it was me.  I did it and I promise, “It will never happen again.” Dam did I just say that again.

Sure, I tell little white lies just like the rest of you. Mostly just to get by and go along.  I don’t say anything that would damage anyone, sometime I do it to keep from damaging someone. That is the norm and very sociably acceptable. I think it is expected. You know, does he really need to know that I don’t like the pants he wearing. The pants that he really thinks are great looking on him. That’s just a courtesy; after all, he doesn’t need to know they are 25 yrs. out of style!!

From now on the words, “It will never happen again “will never again flow from my lips. I promise, “It will never happen again.”

This is my flow of things
