We just don’t do it.
You make a good point. But I love this quote. There’s a lot of truth to it.
So do I, Sunni – it makes me ask “Is it really important?” It may actually be something that used to be important when I was at a different place in life or is not as important as I assumed it was. -El
So true, Nancy – just because something was once important to us (or seemed important at a given time)doesn’t mean it always will be. Sometimes it takes us a bit to realize that’s really what the excuses are about!

Letting go of the need to come up with excuses is liberating.
