On Being Punctual


I grew up in a household where we were always on time and I think less of people who are constantly late.  They seem to feel their time is more important than the rest of us. 

I find it calming by being on time.  I'm not rushed, but I know some people are "adrenaline junkies" and live for the rush of running late.  When I was dating one guy, his mother told me never to take it personally, but her son was always late.  I was perplexed - their son had NEVER been late in picking me up for a date.  In fact, he was often early.  I had no clue he was rarely on time.

I realized he thought I was worthy enough of respect to be on time, and to me that was a sign of good character.  He's now my husband!
