Time to Grow Up

     I am not always the most informed person. I make mistakes and speak out of turn.  This is something that I do not do on purpose.  It is important to me to always be polite and know my place when speaking to people.   While scrolling through my news feed I am always seeing statements and comments that really make me take a second look.  

     As adults I find it shocking that some people will continually do whatever they want to put others down.  I am not talking about politics, that is always going to be a bad situation.  What I am talking about is putting down each other, kids, neighbors or even loved ones.

     There are plenty of times in our lives when we come across negativity, inappropriate behavior and people doing wrong.  There are times when it is us that is involved in the whole mess.  What I would hope is that people realize is that being hateful to others for no real reason, is not a good way to live your life.

     We carry a lot of burdens in out lives.  People have so much on their plates.  I believe that we only become truly happy when we let go of so much judgement and dislike.  Some people spend so much time wanting to express their opinion of others. (Yes I understand the irony.)  That they lose sight of the real purpose in life.  If people want to Live, Laugh, and Love.  You first have to let go.

     When I write these blogs or post on FB or Twitter, it is not to see how many likes or comments I can get.  It is to hopefully change the conversation.  I am not about forcing people to think the same way I do.  That would mean I would have NOTHING to write about.  What I want is to people to start seeing life from other angles.  Just because we all see things from our front porch, does not mean the view is not a little better from the side of the house.  

     So, with all that, I want everyone know that at some point.  We all have to grow up and think before we speak or act.  If not, we will all be destine to repeat the sins of our past.  That does not mean we have to stop asking stupid questions sometimes, or laughing at childish comments either.  What it means is we need to know that there is a time and a place for all of what we do.  It's time for some people to grow up.

    This will be a short blog tonight.  I always welcome the comments and suggestions.  I want to keep writing these as they are therapeutic for me and a healthy release of the thoughts in my head.  

Your worth consists in what you are and not in what you have.
Thomas A. Edison

You are a special kind of stupid aren't you?

     I started this post the other day and it was titled something else and decided to change it since people never cease to amaze me. I know a lot of people. They either worked with me, were one of my employees when I managed people, or friends and family.  I like to follow a wide variety of people on my twitter account.  I think it's important to get a well rounded idea of what people think and believe.      There are some horrific tragedies that have occurred in our country.   They are tragedies that we have seen in the past and will continue to see in the future.  We as Americans come together and support each other, we provide support, food, money, and a prayer.  All are important to the process of rebuilding their lives that have been destroyed.      Theordore Rosevelt was fond of the West African Proverb "Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far." Pretty good saying in my book. ...

Clean your Windshield

It’s that time of year where people will have the “new year, new me” phrase going strong. For many that will last about 2-3 weeks.  For others they will last well into mid-year. I am of the philosophy that you should make changes immediately in life. If you need to start eating healthier then go to the cupboard and fridge and throw out all unhealthy food. If you are going to stop drinking, throw out all your booze. (Rest a sure this will not happen in my house.) If you are going to start working harder on your livestock, turn off your phones and get to the barn. If you are going to sit back and re-evaluate your life while planning for new adventures, sit down and make a list. Every one of these goals requires you to clean your windshield to see what is ahead of you.  As we go down the highway of life we have a big broad windshield in front of us. We can see great distances and have great hopes of what I'd to come in our lives. In-order to see down that road, you must clea...

It is Just a Show

  In the beginning I was not a watcher or a fan. There was a lot of talk. Chatter online. Then I decided to tune and check out all the hype. There is cattle, ranching, horses, politics, drama, and suspense. This show was a creation from the mind of a very creative horse jockey. The story is well written, the acting is superb, and the raw attitude is what brings people back each week. This show hits an audience that is hungry for real talk, real action, and real results. The bad part is it is all fiction.  The show is full of wrong information. Actions that make no sense. Calves do not jump up and start running immediately after being born. Most cattle ranches don’t take their hands and shoot them off a cliff if their employment has ended. They don’t brand their workers for show of loyalty. The good news is it is all fiction.  The characters in the show are people you either love or hate. They are characters that bring a lot of talent to the show. These people come from ma...
