Resolutions - Part 2

As I think about the resolutions I want to make for 2007 I keep going back to this idea of HONORING.

One definition of Honor is: high respect, as for worth, merit, or rank.

The topic of honoring myself has been on my mind for about a month now. Do I honor myself?

In some ways I do. I'm starting to think that in most ways, or at least in ways that are important, I don't.

I've been paying attention to my thoughts about myself during this past month and I often times think, "Oh, it's just me."

In other words:

I don't have to fix a nice meal when I'm eating alone...it's just me.
I don't have to clean up...it's just me.
We can do whatever everyone else wants to do...it's just me.
I can agree to do all these things I don't want to do...it's just me.
and on and on and on...

I haven't decided what my resolutions will be. I know it has to be something greater than I'll Honor Myself. How is that any better than I'll be good to myself?

To be Continued...
