What does politeness have to do with anything? You might hear people say, “He/she is so polite”. Something is being conveyed that sets a person apart.
Being thoughtful, considerate, even helpful, people seem to take notice. Somehow, by being polite, we are being acknowledged. And I say, “Why not!”
To me, it seems like a self-gifting experience. Somehow, we feel validated when our thoughtfulness kicks in; and showing we care! Politeness connects us to others that, more than likely, we do not know; making it even more special, and unexpected by those who are the recipients.There is a lot to say about our initiative in regards to being polite. Now, being on the outlook for opportunities to connect us to others!
Here I am, living in Jackson Hole, Wyoming thinking, "What can I tell you about my life and my own experiences?" Having grown up in Houston, Texas, then moving to Dallas, where my children grew up. We were fortunate enough to have a second home in Jackson Hole. At 84 now, I am over-read on self-help information. Self-awareness and being, or becoming more aware of my own behavior, as it relates to myself and then to others, is where my thinking and doing takes me. I'm about moving forward, for acknowledging to addressing today's problems, and what we can do to make a difference. It's important! At this point, I am only the messenger, offering solutions to the current suicide and drug crisis among our young people, in today's world; with a pathway to follow.

I enjoy being at home, cooking, having a garden (a good thinking and writing place), being with friends exploring the landscape, (which is amazing in Jackson Hole) and checking out our thrift stores. In just a couple of weeks, I'll be driving to Denver to be grandma to my teenage granddaughters for a month. In October, I'll be in Houston for a book-signing event for, "Taming the Wild Horses. Then back to my regular routine here in Jackson Hole. "Happy Trails Everyone!" B. Louise Bayer/Martens
