When I think of mask I think of something covering up your face and the poem, we wear the mask by Paul Laurence Dunbar comes to mind. The introductory words of the poem, “We wear the mask that grins and lies, It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,— This debt we pay to human guile; With torn and bleeding hearts we smile, And mouth with myriad subtleties.” How often do we wear mask to cover how we are truly feeling?

How much do you trust???
This morning as I was leaving out I had to put the address for where I was going in my gps. I don’t know about you but whenever I use my gps I like to see where it’s leading me before I start driving. Have you ever been following the gps and felt it could have taken you another way, an easier way? Yep, I’ve been there! Because of my history with the Gps, I prefer to know the route that it will take me prior to starting. So this morning, I put the address in my gps and decide to just follow the directions of my Gps. I made…
