MY TUESDAY CHIP---LOYAL/DISLOYAL I cheated today I looked for this chip. I usually choose one at random, but loyalty was on my mind. "Honey" and I have friends who are going thru a divorce. He is very close to Angelo and I favor Susie, their kids are the real losers. She cheated on him, but she felt unloved..... It's like a soap opera! But, "Honey" does not want me to talk with her when she calls. He would block her calls if he could figure out how to. I still consider both of them my friends. It's not up to me to judge them and I refuse to give into "Honey" and cross her off the list. How about you, are you loyal or disloyal? Please share or choose from one of the other chips. Peace on the journey..... SunnyGirl

I have found that there are two sides to a coin. But when the coin lands you only see the one side. Never flipped a coin yet and had it stand on it's side. My favority daughter gave me some wonderful advice a couple years ago. I said something about my son in laws drinking. She wasn't in a good mood at the time and looked me squarely in the eye and said, "It's really none of your FU.... business IS IT?" That smarted. But you know what. The girl was right. It really wasn't none of my business. Now opinions I can have all of them I want. And when I am on the smart side I keep them to myself.
Take care,
Ron

Loyal and disloyal.
Depends on where the facts. I often do not agree with people wether it is my wife, clients, or the management that pays me to do maintaince. Often I will agree with a client or tenant. It sometimes has nothing to do with loyalty to someone as it does with what is right or wrong. Being loyal to someone or a group does not make it right to do the wrong thing. Some one was ticked about something the other day and told me they don't like me because she couldn't have her way. I told her that I don't get paid to be liked I get paid to do a job. What was so cute was her response to that. She said, "Well good thing you don't or you wouldn't make much." haha As I left she opened up her door and said, "I still like you anyway." ( woman, will never understand them)
Have a great day and keep smiling.
Ron

I am reminded of the story in my animal book which says that "Dog" stands for loyalty. It tells of how a master can misuse and mistreat a dog and it continues to love the master anyway.
There was a long period in my life that if you mistreated a friend of mine, you answered to me. My disease erroded a lot of morals, trust, loyality, etc. from my life and through the years I have been able to rebuild my life.
I think I need to be loyal to myself, what I feel, my God would have me be and do in today. Very seldom is there anyone who is all right or all wrong. We often can only see a portion of the truth as Ron says, and make judgement without looking at the whole. How can I judge something I can't see. For so many years I had tunnel vision, a closed mind and heart, plugged ears and a loose tongue. I try not to use them as a weapon to tear people apart today. It is much better to put them back together instead of tearing strips off and forgetting to put them back.
As my sponsor told me, "What is your motive?" Is it for the good of the whole?
