Trust

September 29trust,baby, hand holding

I am thankful for trust, trust between people; trust of me by others; trust that I give others. When we trust one another, we can go through life knowing that we can count on each other and others know that they can count on us. When we let one another down, it degrades the trust we have in each other and provides for a rocky relationship. But when we trust, nothing is too difficult for us, knowing that someone else "has our back".

You may have played the game where you put your back to someone and fall back. The trust you have in them being able to catch you determines whether you fall cleanly without a care (and are caught), or whether you take a peak or put your hands out to break your fall. When we trust others, we know that they will break our fall should we stumble.

This is our nephew Jessie and his wife Brooke's daughter Madeline holding my daughter Beth's hand/finger. Babies are pretty much the ultimate in relying in and trusting in others. We should do everything in our power to make sure that that trust is not destroyed. If we can achieve a state of trust like a baby, we will surely have experienced the ultimate in trust.

trust

if we do not trust one another

our relationship can’t exist

we will strive to remember

to never ever coexist

if you trust me

and i do not trust you

we cannot rely on one another

in anything we do

but if there is

mutual trust between we two

we will flourish as friends and colleagues

and our successes will accrue.
