Call me Reliable

From now on I want to surround myself by more reliable people. Reliable people . . .

• Show up to your bachelorette party even though they were battling a stomach virus all day. 
• Don't make excuses.
• Make your dinner date even though work was hard that day and they will have to go back to the office after. 
• Arrive on time or call if they are running late due to circumstances beyond their control.
• Come into work even though it feels as though someone is literally stabbing them.  
• Are conscientious because they know all of their actions have ripple effects for other people. 
• Do not rsvp yes or verbally agree to attend an event and then send regrets.
• Make life fun and easy

Unreliable people 

• Think their problems are more important than everyone else's.
• Dishonest by definition.
• Take others for granted.
• Make life much more difficult than it has to be.
• Are intrinsically selfish.

We all have problems.  We are all busy.  I've dealt with more than my fair share of unemployment, funerals, heartbreak and illness and through it all I have still managed to honor my commitments.
