I am very grateful for those friends and family who I consider to be in my circle of trust. Admittedly, I don't let many people in. I hold my cards pretty close to the vest. The thing is that these people understand my frame of reference. There is no pretense or puffing up of ego; no agenda. They are authentic and genuine. They "get me" and I do fervently hope that I I reciprocate in kind.
