Something to Read

Greetings to all who have explored my humble page.

Life never ceases to be interesting, and people never stop to think to who they could be affecting. We are part of a world where we can put out negative or positive energy. It amazes me with all the information at our fingertips people still choose to be ignorant of facts. If you believe something is right because you base those beliefs on facts and it is what is best for you and yours, more power to you. Stop doing or believing something just because it is the newest fad or latest thing. Where are all the free thinkers in the new generations? My husband and I are trying to raise our boys to think beyond their generation. I think we have accomplished this with our oldest. It is too soon to know if we have accomplished this with the youngest.

All I want to do is to make sure I have raised two decent humans. The question is are they ready for what they are going to have to face in the world? How do you prepare your little humans for what they are going to have to face? I give you two examples of how my husband, and I learned how to swim. I took lessons one summer in a pool with lifeguards and a certified instructor. He was thrown off a dock and it was sink or swim for him. We both learned and we both survived. We both learned valuable lessons. Is one any better than the other though? Seriously stop and think about it. It took me all summer to learn to swim. It took my husband probably an afternoon. (No, we did not throw our boys off a dock to teach them to swim. He was not an advocate of the technique.)

We need to think about how we are raising the next generations. I remember people always saying they didn’t want to raise their children the way they were raised. What was so wrong with the way you were raised? You turned out a well-adjusted contributing member of society. Can your children say that? The age at which children move out is later and later. Not being able to think for themselves and following their friends is the problem. Do you take all summer to teach them about life or do you kick them off the dock?

Greetings and Salutations All,

This is my introduction to this wide word of the internet. I want to start by saying thank you for your support in this new venture. This is not as easy as some might think. In today’s world of trolls and mean girls it makes it hard to put yourself out there not knowing how your will be received. People will tell you all day long they don’t care what people think, in fact they do. Those saying that phrase probably care more than most. They just tend not to let it show or dictate their lives.

As I have said through out most of this sight I am a women who has seen and done a lot though out my life. You will notice I have not posted a picture of myself and that is intentional. You can go to social media and try and find one. I believe we put too much on what we see. I have move around most of my life. I am not joking when I say that. It is only in the last 10 years I have stayed in one place. Otherwise I have moved consistently throughout my life starting when I was 9months old. I have lived in the middle of nowhere Alaska to the ghetto in Alququerque. I have lived in the southern states of this great nation as well as the northern. I have lived on the west coast and the east coast. The only place I have not lived in this nation has been the New England states, but I have visited there. I have lived overseas for a time. I have lived on and off an Indian Reservation. No, I was not an Army brat, but I did serve and was a military wife until my husband retired.

This being my first post I am not sure the length it should be so I will wrap it up with an explanation of the picture. The lightning strike was a picture I happen to catch while watching a storm roll in off the Rocky Mountains. It was that one in a million shot and I got it. That is what I hope to accomplish with this site. A one in a million shot at helping someone or making just that littlest difference for someone. Thank you for time, Danni
