“It’s very important to keep promises, especially ones you make to yourself,” says Barbara Stanwyck’s character in “Christmas in Connecticut,” as she pulls a mink coat that she promised to buy for herself out of a box. She had to buy the coat on credit and it cost the equivalent of six months wages.
I made a promise to write here every day over my break, but that only lasted for three days perhaps. I’m not too hard on myself about it. It is not that I failed to follow through; it is just that I changed my mind. The mind can always be changed, and I am so comforted by this. Never believe anything I say. Don’t believe anything you read here. It is all subject to change. Don’t ask me to marry you. If you do, and I say yes, don’t hold your breath.
