I made a promise to one of you back in July, I obliged and due to things beyon my control, it was not fulfilled. I feel really bad about this. The promise is still here staring at me. I got and could not make another attempt. My husband tried and his ankle was twisted so it stood in the car without me knowing it. He told me since he messed up he was going to fulfill this for me on payday which is next Wednesday. I am a person that likes to keep her word at all costs. This has me very and believe me I have lost over this. The promise was and is still is much needed. I hate how I feel about this that is why I am posting. I need some advice. I feel awful. My oldest daughter tells me that things happen in life and that just like I tell her to have patience and just hope that, people will understand. What do you think? I have beaten myself up for this for quite some time.

I don't know who you made a promise to, but I do know this: All the ladies in the secret sisters are understanding and wonderful. LIFE does happen. I was unable to get something to Fancyfree right away like I thought I could. I did feel bad about this but LIFE does happen. I have since mailed it and I am sure you will feel better afterwards. Don't be so hard on yourself. I know for 100% certainty that you ARE a wonderful and special lady. I am sure it will be okay. Don't be so hard on yourself!

yes I agree with lulu don't be so hard on yourself. I have stuff sitting down stairs for some of my SS and are having money problums and are unable to get them all out right now. And I am working on christmas cards and I just know that some of you will not get these till after the new year :( but I can only do the best I can and I know you all understand. You all and all.
I agree with Lulu! Things happen and most people are very understanding about it. Your post brings memories of me too promising GraspingGrace that I'd get through my kids' stuff and send her some for the foster kids. I got through part of it, but, it too is still sitting here because of lack of funds. I can only hope she understands this and let it be. I'm sure she does understand, but I know how you feel! Its awful to promise and then because of circumstances it doesn't always turn out the way we would have liked.
Yes, be sad, send a note to apologize and explain, but then STOP beating yourself up!! It does no good and only makes you feel worse. I know ... Lulu's the of fruitcakes and I'm the of beating yourself up!! Ask my husband and shrink; they tell ya

This is what the Lord asks of you; only this, to act justly, to love tenderly and walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8
He said to me, "My grace is enough for you, for in weakness power reaches perfection" 2 Cor 12:9
OH my goodness, don't worry you are not alone in that boat. I am always thinking I can get something done faster than I actually do!! Ask anyone here, it always takes me longer than I think to get something out that I promise to send. Just do it when you can and if for some reason you can't just let that person know, I'm sure she will understand. Friendship is more important than anything and you are a good friend so don't worry!!! ok??? But I do know how you feel. I worry too!! , guess I should follow my own advice,huh???

I know personally that you are a Beautiful person, and I am so glad you finally posted this, as we previously discussed! I told you all would be understood, as that's the type of people and ladies that are here! You will fulfill what you can, when you can, because that is who and what you are!
Remember, we are all human, and subject to life's setbacks. You are still beautiful, and Sis , you will always shine in my books!
