This is what this ole cowgirl thinks,
As I look around, watching, listening to all the things happening in our world today I sit here with pride and at the same time shaking my head.
I see the good and evil. I see the greed and the helping hands. Folks walking through high waters to save strangers and at the same time I see folks offended by the past, a color, or just about anything they don't agree with. We really need to see a lot more helping hands and doing better than offended. I'm pretty sure that just offended someone somewhere.How this ole cowgirl sees it is like this, all you folks who are offended by anything you don't agree with and only see the bad side might want to think about this.
If you want to see just how bad you got it, hit rock bottom see how many helping hands pull you up. If you have just one you are rich my friend. Drop a tear and see who wipes it away. Even if its just one hand you are still rich my friend. This ole cowgirl really thinks its time for all of us to step back, slow things down just a bit. Start looking around at what you have and how far you have came.Everything and every person is not evil. Start working on you before you start in on others. Start looking for ways to help, not hurt. Just because you don't like something doesn't make you right. Ask yourself this, Why are you offended? Why are you taking this personally? Because someone said you should be? Learn to think for yourself with an open mind. What this world needs is open hearts , open minds and closed mouths. There is nothing wrong with standing up for what you believe in but make sure you are not just following a herd of mindless sheep.
But at the same time a person's most useful asset is not a head full of knowledge or a bank account full of money, but an ear ready to listen, a hand ready to help and an open heart full of love. Try and listen to both sides. You really might want to think about that the next time you try and judge someone. And we are all guilty of judging someone in someway.
If you have never rode the saddle they are riding or walked that fence in their boots then you might want to think and listen before you speak.
That's what this ole cowgirl thinks...
In the past two years I have lost six Very close family members including my wife. I have always had good health but in the last year I have had 3 heart attacks, 2 bouts with acute bronchitis and complications from diabetes. But you know what I still have 3 great horses, my home is paid for and I have a whole slew of friends that love and care about me. God willing I will be back in the saddle at the Fall Sand hills Ride. Not bad for a 72 year old man.
