At 14, what do we have to go on? Not much! Life is there in front of us. So easy to make bad choices, at 14.
Moving on through High School…really not so easy trying to figure things out. Finally graduating…then what?
Mistakes are being made. How do we live through all of our mistakes, to begin to make some since of our life?
In order to re-examine one’s life, we will need to back-up, to go backwards! What kind of grade would we give our self? Did we stop along the way and ask our self, “How am I doing?” So often, our answers lie with others.
At this point in time in my life, it seems that there have been many stopping points, evaluation stations, self-calculations places. Why is it that when I am so tired, I seem to get into one of these thinking moods, becoming a prayerful-surrender time. Perhaps, the older one gets the more questions one has. At 85, there’s quite a bit to look back on. And, thank goodness, those horses are always there ready for action. Sweet dreams!
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. Check out my website: tamingthewildhorses.com Currently, I am working at The Historic Wort Hotel's gift shop. Also, volunteer at our Senior Center. 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
