[ Commitments ]

Late in 2021, I had to give up my regular timeslot volunteering at the RSPCA.  It was a tough but obvious decision; my days were just too full. Something had to give. 

The half day I spent with the cats (or sometimes the laundry room) was what had to give.  Work and family were priorities, and that was the right decision at the time.

We evaluate commitments every day, at every decision, and whenever we’re overwhelmed.  It’s our commitments, or principles in other words, that help determine our decisions. 

Fortunately, I’ve found a timeslot again and I’m back at it.
