I trust that my boyfriend, Michael, will say this again in the near future:
“Who are you going to trust? Me or your lying eyes?”
Trusty Michael says that when we’re discussing people in power whom we don’t trust.
Do you trust that my eyes have seen all these things?
Do you trust me to end each post with thanks to all who helped me create it and — of course! — to you?
The Year(s) of Living Non-Judgmentally 
Trust is a wonderful thing but, due to various circumstances, I have lost my trust in other people.
I periodically lose my trust in other people, Julie, but I always seem to regain it. I trust you know that I love seeing you here.
Reblogged this on O LADO ESCURO DA LUA.
I trust you know I love reblogs! Thank you.
I trust we will both read each other’s blog tomorrow.
I trust that too, Ray.
I trust that we’ll still manage to have a good day somehow, Ann, in Syracuse and in Boston.
Your trust and Billy Joel’s helped me have a good day somehow, Mark.
I trust that your blog is always very entertaining and enjoyable!
I trust you!
I start with no trust, then POSSIBLY allow it. My husband does the opposite, starts with total trust, then POSSIBLY loses it. Interesting how people can differ so much with no real option. Great post, as always!
GREAT comment about trust, Marie Christine. Thank you!
I trust that whenever I come here, I shall not be disappointed. I shall find fascinating, wonderful, quirky things to read and see — and you are always true.
I also learned long ago, it’s not about trusting others — it’s about trusting myself to listen to myself to take appropriate action for me when I feel the quivers of distrust about others rising within me. 🙂
I trust that you are always truly wise, Louise.
One’s own instinct on such matters should be trusted
Trust me to respond to your comments as soon as I can, Derrick.
I trust you. And I trust that none of us will scare the ice cream.
Also, I love Harry Belafonte!
Also, I love your trusty comments!
I think trust is like hope: without it we’d be unable to keep going. In fact trust and hope are intertwined, an idea that never occurred to me before–but I always hope and trust that you’ll make me think about things in a new way.
I also trust and hope that this’ll put a smile on your face.
I trust you know that your comments always put a smile on my face, Chris.
A very trustworthy post Ann 💛
Thank you, my trustworthy friend.
Trust doesn’t come easy for me, I hope people trust me and I do trust many people but once that trust is broken it takes a while to repair it
I trust you, Joanne.
Trust is a hard thing for me to do. Best not to expect people to always be trustworthy, in my opinion! We’re only human!
I trust that your comment is human and sincere, Jan.
Who can I trust to let me try a bit of that dish?
You can trust us and we trust you!
I trust I will always find something interesting to read on your blog and am never disappointed Ann.
I trust that I will always find what you write very interesting, Lisa.
Your blog made me think of a quote from James Agee that goes something like “I know less than a dozen alive whose eyes I would trust as I trust my own.” Indeed.
I trust your eyes, indeed.
Ann, I know I can trust you to blog every day and always post something I can appreciate and/or relate to!
And I know I can trust you, Sunny to post a comment I appreciate!
Trust is something I have given out too readily. Life has taught me that trust must be earned.
I trust your wisdom, Robert.
I trust your ability to help others walk through their thoughts and feelings. I really trust that.
I really trust your abilities, too, Colleen.
i value this reflection, Ann!
can be a challenge reconciling
our conflicting natures
to trust & not trust 🙂
i trust
& value
you!
