I really wish I could be less hard on myself!
I can’t remember HOW I ended up with this unwavering, IRON, self-discipline I have.
I was in the cadets (in the U.K.) BUT never in the armed services. Yes, my adoptive father beat me to a pulp, regularly, when I was young, BUT that, as far as I can remember, was never a big reason for the self-discipline.
I KNOW I HAD IT by the time I was 16.
That is why I never did drugs, never smoked & only started drinking 7-years AFTER I was legally able to.
NOW, I am too SCARED to make any exceptions. I know that if I do it would be DOWNHILL from then.
So, yet again today, as has been too often the case this Summer, I had no choice but to walk my daily, morning 4-miles in the PELTING, SOAKING RAIN.
I wore heavy, solid rain gear. I still got drenched. There was no part of me that was dry.
The DOGS refused to walk.
So I walked on my own, which was good because I can walk faster.
So, this is my life.
I wish I could be a slacker.
