Promises.

Solemnly Swear

That I will breathe easier.

That I will refrain from speaking ill of others.

That I won't sweat the small stuff.

That I will comment on blogs more.

That I will remember to love even if it seems hard.

That I will be gracious.

That I will take more pictures.

That I will be proud of myself and the things I have accomplished.

That I will appreciate the time I have.

That I will allow myself to get upset.

That when I get upset, I will move on and focus on happiness.

That I will be present. 

Do you have any promises you want to make to yourself?

    I have pretty similar promises! It's so hard to be present, remember to be kind and accepting, and that emotions are fleeting and don't rule you - cooler heads can prevail!
    I love the "comment on blogs more" promise, I've been trying really hard to do this to. I lurk too much! So consider me officially delurkified, and thank you for this post which encouraged me to say "Hi!". It definitely struck a few chords!

    I promise that I'll finish whatever I start.
    I promise to never give up or atleast try not to be too disappointed when something doesn't work out.

    two big ones for me right now:

    that I will under-promise & over-deliver

    that I will see things to completion or at least come up with a very good reason not to finish.

    I'm a superbig fan of a blog called the fluent self, esp. when i'm in a getting-un-stuckified kinda mood. :)
