our virtue of the week

In yesterdays Post Courier a small advert in the bottom right hand corner of the 3rd page, a little box entitled "Our Virtue of the Week is : RELIABILITY" and it states:

Reliability means that others can depend on you. It is doing something that you have agreed to do in a predictable way without forgetting or having to be reminded.

Listen ricebag ... listen!!

Ricebag is dealing with her reliability issues. You can trust her 100%. But sometimes she is not always where she says she will be when she says she will be ... she EVENTUALLY gets there but the madness of stuff happening to and around her is often very very distracting and coupled with ricebag's admirable ability to daydream in any given situation and to ponder a million different issues (not always irrelevant) during any given period ... well, sometimes she does wander down a different path to the one in someone else's daily planner. It's not really spontaneity and it's not forgetfulness - rather, ricebag feels that her priorities are different and some commitments are subject to change because of the unpredictability of it all. However, some of these loose strings must be tightened because other people aren't as flexible as she is, so ricebag is elevating her 'responsibility to others' in the list of things she must do first, before the other things on the list of things.

Despite this, all who know her love her anyway. She can rely on that.
