Another phase

Commitment -- some people find this word simply difficult - living on the fence, might seem to provide choices and the ability to not get bogged down in mire and muck.

Yet, I have committed to more oral surgery this next Friday, which means soft food for another three weeks or so after. All for the good - and perhaps, I might discover how many flavors there are of ice cream. Or, give it a good go for the first couple days only.

Commitment can be simply the process of making a decision. So many times in past years the decision appeared as the largest challenge. Once made, a 1,000 pound elephant was off my shoulders, until the next time.

One simply way to assist: Make a list entitled: Advantages OF on one side -- and Advantages of NOT on the other. Get into the details, and see what appears.

Hi Susan---Renee of NC Excellent post as I just made a committment to my boyfriend. He just asked me today to marry him. He came to my place of business and in front of everybody I work with got down on one knee and proposed and had a dozen red roses in his hand. Yes I said yes. Very true how that word can put you in a tail spin.

Yet after reading your many wonderful post I knew that commitment was not going difficult. It's only the next part of the journery and I am looking forward to our wedding.

We have been dating for 4 yrs.

Excellent work from your photographer where can we purchase there work as we are huge followers of you and your photographer.

Next we will be setting the date for the wedding

Oh by the way have you started your book yet. We look forward to seeing it in the book stores.

Hi Susan--Lisa of OH---Love your post--Commitment truly an excellent topic. What is it about that word that frightens people so much. Do you feel that word when others hear it puts alot of pressure on one self??? Would like to hear more of what you think about this word.

My future husband to be is the same way took him 5 yrs to propose to me and I said yes yet at the same time wondering to myself what has kept me in this relationship for so long. We are suppose to get married at the end of September of 2010. I started thinking that it took 5 yrs to be asked I just started looking at my life and if this marriage is the right thing to do. Not sure if you get what I'm trying to say. If you do would love to understand this feeling that I'm having.

Love the picture and your recent post. I agree with one of the comments what really causes us to be afraid of that word.

Hi Susan---LeeAnn Greensboro SC--Awesome picture and your post is magnificent. In the Army for 20 yrs and if that is not a commitment I don't know what is. I lifted myself up to God everyday to protect us.
