Day 33 - It's All About Trust

I was just reading the news story about Pfizer mis-packaging birth control pills, some prescriptions may have nothing but dummy pills, OOOOOOOPS!
I am sure that the women who use Pfizer's products are irate upon hearing about this. They trusted Pfizer to provide them with a product that did what it said it was going to do. This got me to thinking about other things that I inherently trust.

• Electricity - I trust every morning that when I get up, the lights will turn on with a flip of my wrist and I will be able to make a pot of coffee - this past summer when we experienced a bit of a hurricane and lived without it for 5 days, made me appreciate it all the more.
• Water - I trust when I turn the faucet, that water will come out.
• The Nightly News - I want to turn the TV on at the same time each night and see the same anchorman telling me what happened today.
• 60 Minutes - I know that every Sunday, at 7 pm that the clock will start clicking.
• Ben & Jerry's Phish food Ice Cream- I trust that this will taste just as delicious as the first time.
• Toilets - I expect them to do what they are designed for.
• Cars - I trust that they will start when I want them to start,and when they don't, I trust that AAA will show up.
• Spring Bulbs - I trust that they will bloom, in spite of the squadron of squirrels searching for them. (this one may be a reach - realist in me)
• Wonder Bread - I trust that it will be the same squishy white bread with no taste and little nutritional value that I always had growing up - still tastes especially good when making turkey/stuffing/cranberry sauce sandwiches
• Toasters - I trust the little knob on the front to help me avoid burning toast.
• Recipes - I trust that I will produce something that is akin to the beautiful picture - some recipes, in my experience, are not at all trustworthy -
• Shawshank Redemption - I trust that I will root just as hard for Andy to make an escape from that hellhole of a prison as I did the first time I watched this, about 50 times ago.
• Dove Dark Chocolate - I trust that these delightful pieces of heaven will end my craving for a sweet - and they do, after partaking in enough of them.
• Pinot Grigio - I trust that I will enjoy this each and every time I take a sip, so much so that I will most likely have another or two just to trust my instincts.

February 2, 2012: Happy today that my flu symptoms are finally on the way out, especially happy that my back and knees allow me to bend again! I missed that.
