Oh how I hate it when people don’t keep commitments or even bother to tell you that they won’t be doing something. I have problems with this in my personal life and my work life.
I’m sure you have probably been in this situation… you talk to someone about a project or a task and all indications are that that person intends to follow though and do what they have indicated they will do… Then a couple weeks later you realize the task hasn’t been done and when you bring this up with the person who has failed to follow through with their commitment you get a blank stare, or worse a statement like… I didn’t mean I was going to do it now… or… something else came up and I decided not to do the thing we were talking about.
Maybe the problem all comes back to me. Maybe I’m not specific enough, or feel like I’m hounding the person if I make them tell me exactly what they are going to do and exactly when they will have it done. I tried this once with my wife and learned not to do that again. …

I`ve thought the same , sometimes. BUT, I think I`d miss the changes , and four seasons.
Sure, the ice, cold, shoveling gets to me. But just like life is always changing, so must the seasons. I took my dogs for a early morning walk this morning. It couldn`t have been much more then 10 degrees, but with no wind I found myself walking even farther then I had planned. I didn`t hear my dogs complaining either.
Sure, I wouldn`t have enjoyed shoveling all morning, but I wouldn`t trade the early morning walk in 10 degrees for a year of sunny and 72 degree days.
I can see a condo in future someday, so as to avoid the bad times of winter. But, I also see me walking dogs , early in the morning, with single digit temps, in my future also.
Enjoy the spring, summer, fall And winters of your life.
