Day Four

That was a long day.  You know the ones; they start rushed, continue at breakneck speed, and don't end until, well, now.  Everything seems okay, then a crash, then a build-up and success, and finally just a need for sleep.  

What do you do when you have these days?  I find myself vowing to wake up (and GET up) earlier tomorrow morning.  I'm going to get up when my alarm goes off.  I'm going to catch the early bus to school.  I'm going to speak to the students I need to speak to before school starts, rather than trying to catch them in between classes.    The challenge will be to see if I can keep a vow to myself.

Why is it harder to honour yourself more than others?  I can keep a promise to a friend, a family member, even someone I've just met.  Yet when I promise myself something, or promise myself to DO something, I inevitably fail.  I break the promise.  What will it take to honour me?
