Doing what I say I am going to do has become a very important thing to me...its something I was poor at...I always had lots of good intentions and "over committed" myself to the point where I couldn't possibly follow through before- a typical Nice Guy trait, compounded by a terrible trait of procrastination and a tendency to put my work first...all of which I am on a mission to eliminate from my life!
One thing I realised as I got to grips with my situation was that I had to change that - for H's sake... and so I am meticulous in making sure that I always do follow through for him - no matter what...putting him first, regardless...
I've also seen benefits from that in other areas of my life - I've been interested in seeing references to "taking care of business"- aka TCB -on Smiley's thread - that's exactly what I'm doing...
Badminton is a game I've always been keen on - not to blow my own trumpet too much - but I've always had a bit of aptitude for racket sports - and now I love playing myself again regularly and also make sure I spend time passing on my enthusiasm to H...I try to get him onto a tennis court a couple of times a week and to a game of badminton too... H is turning into a pretty useful badminton and tennis player himself now! I might not be a wimbledom champ but I do have some idea about how to develop skills in children...
Tomorrow, H and I are heading to the Brecon Beacons (Wales) for an activity week - climbing, canoeing, raft building, abseiling, archery etc etc ...we are very very excited!!!
