Maggie's Thought for the Week: Loyalty Is Always Top Priority

Our world is filled with a lot of people. Our jobs introduce us to many people. Our transient & technological society allows us to make many friends across the globe. How do we decide which people to develop a relationship with and trust our thoughts & dreams?

Maggie showed the answer every day. She was loyal. Every morning I would leave for work and she never destroyed our home. Every afternoon, she greeted me with licks & jumps. She was my shadow while working outside in the yard.  During walks, she never left my side without permission; okay, an occasional squirrel sometimes swayed her better judgement- but she always came when bribed with a cookie.

Loyalty is revered as a wonderful quality, but lacking in so much of our world.  The commitment to do as you say, keep your promise, honor your spouse & family, and treat others how you want to be treated can all be categorized under the topic 'one who displays loyalty'.  Qualities one must have in a friend, spouse & employee or co-worker. Can we see the same if we looked in the mirror?

Maggie was a loyal buddy. I was loyal to her. She taught me the importance of being loyal to other people. Thanks Maggie :-)
