Oh I am so not good at promises ! I don't like to even say "I promise " because if I do it almost always will mean I do not follow through . I don't know why , it must be fear in me I guess that makes me be cautious of saying those words. I feel ok with saying " I'll try " I guess it leaves room for my failures ☺ then if I do fall or fail there is less chance of someone being hurt . no expectation attached with "I'll try " now I'm wondering is this a weakness ? should I work on the I promise thing ? I am such a flutter bug lately not knowing what I am doing , must be that moon !
Hmmm . . . not sure about the 'at once' part. I do think that it is harder to keep one's promise as time goes by, but I am not sure that a fulfilled promise can ever be diminished -- no matter how long it takes to fulfill. In fact, I believe that promises can be enhanced if they are finally fulfilled after a period of hardship and obstacles.

What a wonderful proverb. The picture is absolutely fantastic.
Francois VI, Prince de Marcillac says: "we promise according with our hopes, and perform according with our fears"
Oh, the greedy witch in me clicked on the giveaway button, but it's not taking anywhere!
Kisses and have a good Friday!
