January 2025: Heather Saint

“promises of possibility”

How many times have I told myself I will do it today or soon?  How many times have I not done so?  This is why, in my family that I made, we do not promise lightly. We always keep our promises so we are very careful when we make them.  We taught the children when we promise we keep.  I have made only a few promises in my life.  One was to be with my spouse “until death do us part”.  Another one was to always be there when my children needed or wanted me.  I have never lightly promised to do something that in my heart I knew I wouldn’t or couldn’t do.  Remember the “promise cross my heart”?  Nope to me.  Maybe I am shallow, maybe I am deeper than you think.  But when I tell you, I Promise, you can count on me unless I’m dead.
