Every evening when my daughers go to bed, I go to tuck them and kiss them good night. But the other day I was working on something and we say goodnight and kissed right after the dinner.

Tina said: “Will you come and kiss me again, when you will go to sleep?”
“Sure.”

But I didn’t. I completely forgot about my promise.

Next morning I was about to do laundry and while I was getting sheets from the beds, I also asked Tina to get her dirty clothes from her room. And that’s when she got me! “You didn’t come to kiss me yesterday. Otherwise you would see that I cleaned ant tiedied my room and that ther are no dirty clothes around.” Ooopss.

So, how many times are we saying or doing things that we don’t mean? Or that we say them just to go on with our lives and forget about them?

Even if it doesn’t sound much, it meant a lot to Tina. And I dissapointed her. I felt so bad. Not just because I broke my promise, I might even signal her, that she’s not really important. I skipped the ritual for other “more important” thing and it looks like I didn’t think of her at all passing her room to my bed.

Now think about your life and your situations.
