Trust

"The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them. "
Ernest Hemingway 

This is a difficult quote for me to live by.  Wow is it hard! Trust is not an inherent part of my personality.  I definitely have reason to be the way I am, but is it really doing me any good to hold onto the past and let it affect my present?  It is freeing to let go and quit questioning the motives of others.  My neck is certainly less sore from watching my back. Easier said than done though.  Can I start with the little things?  Why not give people the benefit of the doubt?  I'm not going to fork over money to the next person that asks and swears they'll pay it back, but maybe instead of analyzing everything a person says, simply accept it.
