I have talked about trust being a choice. Loyalty is also a choice. Trust and loyalty are opposite sides of the same coin. You can be a person who is trustworthy or not. You can choose to be loyal to some people in your life or not. I think that loyalty is situational and personable.…

Where did it go?
Time is so elusive. I can sit and do a task, look at the clock and an hour has passed. I make grand plans for things I want to do then time slips away. Where does it go? I think I need a better time management strategy. Here are some more thoughts about time.

Almost my Everything
