Forget me not

Lets try for something a little different here, in the, undoubtedly vain, hope that I might actually start doing the right thing. For all too often I find the statement ‘why did I do that?’ coming after the event rather than ‘now, remember what happened last time?’ preceding. So, write it down, in some small hope that the action will reinforce the memory.
The lesson to be learnt here is ‘offer no invitation.’ For it is all a matter of timing is it not? Certainly the answer had a qualifier but there is all the difference in the world with the pause between ‘certainly’ and ‘but’ being immediate, no real effect, and being long enough to ramble on with raised expectation. As said though, one can be thankful for only private humiliation. One can berate ones own lack of intelligence only so long as one does something about it. I mean to say, getting disappointed when an offhand affirmation is not confirmed? You have got to realize that something is seriously skewed, don’t you?
Now I just have to find something that I can treat myself with if I actually get through these next two weeks without issuing a single invitation. Difficult, for a reward to aim for that I wouldn’t give myself regardless? Requires some serious thought.
