Placing Your Trust

I always try to trust what others tell me, at times this has come to bite me in the back. I give the benefit of the doubt and make excuses for others because I want to believe that they will do what they say or follow through with there promises. How many times do I have to this happen; well at least once or twice a day. You would think that I would learn right?
When you tell someone something and follow through it builds trust and makes them believe in your word; when you don't it makes one feel used, disappointed and confused.
I am sorry for the times that I may have failed to follow through and ask for forgiveness for my shortcomings.
As for those that have unknowingly disappointed me or lied to me; I forgive you, but please think about what you have said or not done so you don't do it again. For those of you that purposely lied to me and failed to follow through shame on You!!!! Can you really live with yourselves knowing what you are doing to others? I will forgive but not Forget!!!

  1. I don't usually have the trusting everyone problem, trust has to be earned with this chicky, but I do put everyone on the same playing field at first. Can't say I place any store in appearances at all... but trusting people isn't all bad, sometimes people are pretty good, sometimes....
