ADMIRED MORE THAN GLITZ AND GLAM
WALKED ON EARTH AS MEEK AS A LAMB
LEFT HAPPINESS IN HER WAKE
WONDER IF SHE KNEW WHAT A MARK SHE WOULD MAKE.

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...
excellent choice of example
😀
Saint Mother Teresa – undoubtedly would have been too humble to recognize the mark she made on not only the world, but countless hearts. Our daughter’s former parish had a life-size replica of this great Saint and I always marveled standing beside the stature of such a tiny woman who left such a LARGE mark on the world! Hugs to you for the fond reminder!
You are very welcome. With the prompt I decided to go opposite of the glitz and glam. Who best? 😀
such profound words about a most remarkable powerhouse of a lady!
Little in stature, mighty in influence. 😀
absolutely … Gandhi and Dalai Lama are also small in statue large in presence!
Don’t know much about them.
also remarkable people who had a huge impact on world matters and peoples hearts 🙂
😀
Nice one! 😉
Thanks, M. I’ll get over to see your exciting news later today. Going to church now. See you later.
Sounds good! 😉
I was there. Congratulations. I’m sure your book will add entertainment and value to its readers. Hope it will benefit you in many ways – money even!
Thanks so much, I’m just glad to have accomplished something that I never thought I’d do in a million years. And so even if I never sell a single copy, I’ll still be happy because I can say I at least did it! Lol… 😉
and add to that “and I did it well!” 😀 If you don’t care about grammar, just say, “I did GOOD!” lol
Lol… oh so funny. 😉
Once in a school, a teacher described the gentle ministry of Mother Teresa as a ‘hidden’ example of Christ as a Light of Hope in a world of pain and despair. Thank you for blog.
She is a great example of some of the paradoxical saying of Jesus; for example, “who would be great among you, let him be servant of all.” Thanks, Faye.
