Affirmation for June 9, 2016: Your Word
We must not promise what we ought not, lest we be called on to perform what we cannot.
- Abraham Lincoln
Thought of the day:Whether or not we keep our word can definitely make or break the level of respect we receive from others. It can also play a determining factor in your level of self respect. We should also remember to not give our word where we know we can't honor it, even though you may really want to commit to it.
Today, let's work on keeping our promises and honoring our word to ourselves and others. Not only is it polite, it is the essence of our integrity. Have a wonderful day!TeamDS

Sometimes our unpredictable illness can cause us to break our commitments. Our intentions are honorable but then we find ourselves collapsed from fatigue we disappoint ourselves and others. I missed my own father's funeral. CFS is such a difficult illness to work with planning and so often ends in breaking our word. Kind regards.Diane.
