Because I have a lot going on these days....I can at times be a tad late.
I also can at times have things crop up, that take 1st priority....so I am at the mercy of things going on around me.
If a friend or relative said ''I need you NOW', I drop everything and get to them.
That is one thing I will always do, and have told everyone.
But!
It would need to be urgent or important.
I would not let them down, on that.
Things happen in life, and people do have problems.It's better (to me) to give a little rope, because we all have bad days.
We all would like that little extra rope if we could not do something.
'Grace' is something valuable and if I give a fair amount....then I ask for a little back.
Not everyone has a smooth sailing, with their every day to day things.
