ABOUT ME
Hello. To various folks I am Neat’nee, Mom, Grandma Neta, Gramma, Aunt Neta, Aunt Noni, Aunt Neno, and Aunt Neto (lots of varieties from little nieces and nephews). To some I’m more like “Didn’t you used to be my teacher?” or “Don’t I know you from someplace?” To you, perhaps, I am a Fellow Blogger. Not “fellow” like a male or a guy, but “fellow” like a companion or an adventurer. I would choose to be Grandma Blogger, and have you pull up a chair, my website before you, while I tell you of some days of yore. I have experienced life much differently than most of you. It was and is a good life. I hope to share nuggets of appreciation for those who have gone before me and those who come after me. By necessity you are among those who come after me and I will tell you of those who came before. Once upon a time in a little house on a prairie - oops, change that lest I commit plagiarism - and change that “house on the prairie” to “dugout on the prairie.” So my story begins...
Surprisingly, I have had secrets confided to me that I didn’t even share with my spouse until I was given permission! Yes, we need to be trustworthy confidantes. After having my own trust broken so many times, I’ve learned to take it to God first and leave it with Him. Somehow I don’t feel the need to tell anyone else after that. I don’t have to worry about how I’ll be perceived or if my personal troubles will get “leaked out.”
There are many secrets I’ll be taking to the grave. I am not one to reveal something someone else has trusted me with. Trust is extremely important to me.
How important indeed is ‘Trust’. How much damage can be caused if this erodes in any relationship or even prayer groups.
