My friend who writes fringefaith did a post about lacking in trust. Since we both very recently left our previous blog home, and for much the same reasons, I thought I'd start out the same way she did.
When you get a creepy feeling about a person or a situation, it may just be paranoia... unless there really is someone out to get you. In that case, it's God's way of telling you to be careful. We both fell victim to someone who was not what they pretended to be. We both had a bad feeling about this person from the beginning but decided to be trusting instead of cautious. I've pretty much made a career of being gullible... and paid for it many, many times.
So, here I am... ready to tackle the world again and yell my head off about everything and anything. The picture is of my two dogs and Yard Bird. I also have a cat now, but no pictures of her. People pass by my house and stare in wonder at the yard pets who shouldn't get along, but do. I also have the most beautiful black stallion I've ever seen. And he gets along with all the other critters that make up my land bound Noah's Ark. Did I mention my parakeet?
My main interest is in politics so I'll have plenty to say. Hang in there...

Hi SL,
ReplyDeleteI think it's better to be trusting of others and get hurt, rather than go through your whole life without being able to trust anyone. That's an ongoing pain that is worse that the odd occasions when people abuse your trust.
But at the same time, when you get a feeling about someone, maybe that's a time to be careful.

I trusted my 2 ex-husbands and should have listened to the little voice that told me to get away from them when I could. I have trusted several people I mistook for friends and wound up in terrible messes. Now I pay attention to the still small voice of warning... a little more often, at least... Trusting is a good thing, but careful can save your life.
ReplyDeleteHey S.L. thanks for leting me know where you were writing. I don't know if I will write anymore or not I really don't have the time, or the desire as of yet. The last place took all my desire to voice my opinions, but I no doubt will find the desire later.
ReplyDeleteI hope you do, Lester. You have a lot to say and say it very well. Maybe this place will be better than the last one. I sure hope so!
