I want to keep promises, including the promises I make to myself.
This was one promise I made. . . to begin blogging again this month.
In the words of Henri Nouwen in his book Here and Now, I want
"to do well the few things I am called to do and hold on to the joy and peace they bring me. I must resist the temptation to let the forces of darkness pull me into despair and make me one more of their many victims."
Today,
I showed up,
and put fear on a diet.
