"It's not a matter of what you deserve, and -- more to the point -- certainly not a matter of what you think you deserve. All that matters is what you're committed to,and how you honor that commitment, and -- sometimes -- what you are blessed by."
--M. Allen Cunningham in his article "In the Absence of Yes," Poets&Writers Nov/Dec 2011

The timing of this quote is, to quote Christopher Walken, "spooky."
Exactly what I needed to read right now.
As I Un-Poem-A-Day, these words on commitment got me back to the page. Thank you.
CS & drew - glad the words were timely for you. I was encouraged by them, too. The idea of commitment, then the surprise blessing. Yay for surprise blessings, yay for commitment, too.
I am blessed to know you, for the blog you keep that makes me feel connected to you, and for the reminder, from you, of the great things that I do for my family too. Missing you and those sweet voices that came out of the white house two doors down ;).
Kari, dear neighbor, happy tears and sad tears :). We miss you, too. Thanks for checking in. xoxo
