At the appointed time

One of my desires this year is to be at any given place before or on time. This has been a marriage-long thorn in my husband's side.

He is punctual, punctual, punctual - example: seated at 3 pm. I am ish, ish, ish - example: arriving at 3ish pm. So finally after many years together, it dawned on me that I was causing avoidable anxiety to him. Yes, I'm slow to catch on.

I prayed for ways to resolve this and some of them are actually working. Does it always work? No. Am I really trying, everyday, yes.

I read this by William Shakespeare (and could just as easily have been spoken by my man) this morning which reminded me of my commitment...
"Better three hours too soon than a minute too late"
