On Being Committed.....

It has been suggested to me here, on a number of different occasions, that I have commitment issues. That maybe I am not able to commit to whatever it is that person thinks I should be committed to. So I guess that means I am supposed to drop everything and be committed?

I think I am a good candidate for commitment. And I think there are not a few folks here who would vouch for that.

For instance, I am committed to getting my 15 year old son through high school with as little drama as possible. I did it for my daughter, and now I am doing it for my son. I don't think I should drag a woman into that kind of mix too fast. I think it takes time to get that far. This is the main reason I am alone. I think that shows I am committed. Or I should be anyway.

I think rather than it being me that is noncommittal, the main problem lies in finding someone....anyone......in Wyoming. Or willing to come here. And stay here longer than 3 days to see if there is any commitment about.

I mean....commitment? Hell....it snowed overnight and all this morning. Close to 12 inches of pure good wet spring snow. The park was an amazingly beautiful place this morning for my 2 to 4 mile morning walk with the Great and powerful Oz.....so quiet and peaceful. I found myself wishing there was someone with us, just to prove how beautiful it really was. Just to share it with someone. Yesterday it was 75 degrees. This morning it is snowing. Ya have to be committed to live here. But it is worth every minute.


So....commitment is a strange little thing. I believe that a commitment takes time to develop. At least to me....real commitment grows like a living thing. It needs consistent nourishment, not a dose of miracle grow.

It ain't gonna happen over night. I can't work that way.....and it wouldn't be fair to you, a relationship, or my son either.

I am a committable person. I really am!


Stay tuned

I do

Darlin' if someone thinks you are not able to make commitments then honey they don't deserve you.... .....because.....they have not taken the time to get to know you.....

A person will commit when they are ready to commit but some that commit isn't ready to commit and shouldn't commit until they feel like they are ready to commit.
So if a person commits when they aren't ready, that commit is not really a commit untill the commity is a commiter and should keep their commit hole shut.
Now, if I only understood what it is I just wrote?

Vette...I committed to understanding it, and read it 16 times before I got it. I am glad I committed because now I know that there are committers and just wannabe committers...and I will never commit to a noncommiter because it just won't serve the commitment justice.

My spell checker hates me right now.

It's wonderful to hear about a single parent (mom or dad) putting their child(ren) in the number one spot on their priority list---good on you, Tunes! Talk about commitment....

I agree with Maggie...and as for Vetts comment... ...I got a headache reading that...lol

I've read your many blogs and commented on a few...I think you are a great guy... you have to be...anyone nutz enough to get a puppy at this age is crazy!! ...lol...

Love is not something that just springs up...it takes time.

I've been to your beautiful state...can't wait to get back there and explore more as there was too much to see in one trip.

Just some of my thoughts on your topic...

Kudos.

Too many people enter into 'commitments' far too lightly,
needless to say, they don't last very long.

Lovely blog... thank you for posting.

Better to wait to commit to the right person than to try to promise something that can never be.

Now Red you just made me pull out the old dictionary!

And... Mr Macwilliams... I still agree your a good candidate for commitment... I could put in a good word for ya.. (and if you keep your arms puffed out a bit, the jacket won't be too tight when they buckle you in... ) Always here to help btw..

You guys are the bestest!


Can't wait to try on my new white jacket either! Does it have buttons or zippers? I don't care...I like both. Even on the same jacket!.... Say! I'm gonna need some new slacks to go with that jacket too....I like going barefoot if that is ok? Where we all going anyway?

Oh I can't wait!

Where we going again?

I have always suspected you had been committed. During your weekly meeting with the institution's shrink, dont talk about strange voices, or alien visitors, or things that didn't really happen, and pretty soon they will let you out.

I think the only commitment I can handle myself is a commitment to the local looney bin!!

Let's not forget your commitment to your dog.. And your commitment to giving us great blogs to read.. Commitment Kudo to ya..

Yeah, yeah, whatever.

All that stuff about being a committed father is, while certainly true, just a smokescreen to get kudos and compliments from beautiful and admiring MD women...Well I'm not biting, baby.

You are the most run-from-commitment guy on this site and you know it! You can't even commit to making a bet on the upcoming election--a bet that would force you to meet one of the most interesting, scintillating and beautiful women on this site....ME.

So go on wit' your "I believe that a commitment takes time to develop," and, "It needs consistent nourishment, not a dose of miracle grow'" self. You ain't devoting no time and you ain't even visited the damn gardening store.

So there!

PS--Nice post!

Hey Tunes...........great blog... ....I believe committment is on both parties......it takes work...........it means to be there unconditionally........ and keeping an open mind.......it is not easy that is for sure........but........one person can't be the one doing all the committment.........and this goes hand in hand with anything in life not just relationships.............everything needs work......nothing is simple in life......

Fantastic blog...... xoxo

I asked them about different colors as they were helping me try on my new jacket, which was white......stunning really..........they said that colors come a little later. White is what a person starts with and then we can move on later to colors. They didn't say anything about brown though....

I hope we don't have to wear white after Labor Day...... or is that before Memorial Day?

I can NEVER keep that straight.....
