To Commit, or Not Commit?

No, I’m not talking about marriage. I’m talking about all those plans you committed to once upon a time — the group activities you signed up for, the invitations you accepted when you had every intention of following through.

This week, after a short bout with the dreaded lurgy, I had to cancel a few plans — and even skipped a couple of gym sessions (which is very unlike me). I felt awful about pulling out, especially at the last minute, but truthfully, I’d underestimated just how rough I was feeling.
