This afternoon I was thinking about the word trust.  It can be defined as a confident expectation of something.  Through out our lives we are taught to be trustworthy of those around us and as we grow up into adulthood, some people develop a deeper relationship with their higher power, who they entrust to be in charge of their lives.  Others may have a different path due to their beginning in life,  whereby they may have developed a negative association with trust, if they were betrayed by someone who they held with this regard.  Although it can take a lifetime of practice in placing one's confidence in a person or something, it can all diminish with one incident.  I have known people who were children of divorced parents and a good number of them grew up with apprehensions about marriage or relationships and their ability to lend credence to someone due to what they experienced in their upbringing.  Even though time may have moved on and as an adult one thinks that issues from long ago have been resolved, this may prove to be difficult for people that have not made amends with what occurred during their childhood.  Our children trust us to be their parent and be their guardian and look after their well being.  They have an expectation of trust from the very beginning and yet as adults some of them may have varied levels of this type of confidence in their own family members.  We trust our government to look out for our safety and in the event of an accident or natural disaster, we are left with nothing else other than trusting a police, fire or safety officer.  If you had an issue with losing trust in years prior, in the spirit of the upcoming holiday of Thanksgiving, perhaps this could be your opportunity to set that which has bothered you for some time aside and put it to rest in your past.  Give yourself an opportunity to gain much needed peace of mind if you have had this issue and embrace the relief of finally letting something go.  Be thankful for the knowledge of your experience and if you have close people that support you, be grateful for them as well.  Although the opportunity to lose this belief in others can occur, I challenge you to trust your heart and those that are part of your inner circle to believe that the best in each other is yet to come.
