I haven't written in a while. Some have asked why? Many issues have come up that would have been good to write about, yet I find myself in a position that I have lacked the time or the patience to be polite. I seem to want patience, yet I want it right now!

We live in troubled times. We have an election coming up that we should vote on candidates and Issues that affect us all in different ways. Urban people have different challenges than rural people. There are more Urban people than rural people so the vote carries more weight in those areas.

Each wants their own way of life. The convenience and availability in town appeals to many, especially our youth. The rural lifestyle gives others a purpose with our everyday life. We forgo many vacations and the latest greatest for a piece of equipment, feed for our livestock or the space to enjoy life in the way we want.

Both are important. Work done in town sometimes makes our jobs easier in the rural areas, the food and products we produce rurally sustain the lifestyle Urban people enjoy. This may explain why rural people aren't so excited about re-introducing predators to areas we graze livestock. It makes our job more difficult and dangerous.

I won't go on and on about how you should vote. That decision should be based on what is good for us all and not just our individual needs. The solution is a complexed one. Those who identify problems with no action haven't accomplished much. The problem presented itself without much of a search. Happy Sunday, Thanks, Pat.

Good Evening,
It's been a while since I posted. We have been busy around the place. We are reaching out to our little group of people. We are in search of a part time scheduler for our farrier business. Applicants need to be familiar with quick books, google calendar and google maps. We are located in West of Wellington Colorado approx. 5 miles. Some remote is possible, extra hours could be picked up doing light horse chores, but not a deal breaker.

We would like someone familiar with horses as horse people seem to have their own language. Please feel free to share our post or direct someone who would be a good fit. Our website has an application tab. Please fill out the application. www.bequickhorseshoeing.com

We would like to get the right candidate up and running in the next few weeks. Pay is based on experience and compatibility. Thanks, Pat.

Sitting here at a Sunday horse show, gives me a little time to catch up with some thoughts. I had a great idea for a post the other day that was unforgettable but I forgot.
The DNC starts this week, those who know me would say I'm a bit conservative. It works for me. I do believe in listening to both sides it's important to me. The media regardless of which one spins their yarns of misleading truths. Watching the actions and results related to the words seems to get me a bit closer to my truth.
Horses taught me this bit of wisdom. They just want to be okay. They do what is asked, if the message is clear. Response with respect is understanding. You won't see much of that on an election year. I guess it's just another dog and pony show. Have a great Sunday

We went to the Dave Stamey concert last evening. It was a small venue, no air conditioning or bar. Dave gave a great performance and it was a great date night. Isn't it amazing that with very little, we can do so much.

Folks were polite and it was good to see some old friends. No cell phone service was a plus. I wish more people could experience the feeling of a small community. Is it that there aren't good people in town? Personally, I don't think that is the problem. I think is like cattle through a gate. Too many animals and too much pressure. You're bound to end up fixin fence. Maybe we should sit on our horse and let them get through the gap. Just a short thought this morning. Headed to breakfast. Thanks, Pat.

Happy Independence day! I thought of writing something insightful, historical and patriotic. Then I realized it's a Holiday, paid for by our forefathers. Enjoy the day. Thanks, Pat.

I guess many of us watched the Presidential debates this week. Personally, I don't care which side of the isle you are on. I find myself not listening to the words. I watch the actions of the candidates. I look at results. We are fed the result of digestion fed to a bull.

I really don't like to hear the blame game. It's not about Democrats or Republicans it's about Americans in my opinion. Those under 30 probably don't identify to either candidate. I find it hard to communicate to that age bracket myself and I am younger than both of them. Why is this? I believe it's a breakdown in belief. I see mega churches that are more about church doctrine than the bible. We are more worried about image than content.

I have seen prosperity in my lifetime. The fact is I haven't seen much else. The enemy of good is better. Our life is good here in the USA yet we see those who are feeling they don't have their piece of the pie. They haven't bought the ingredients, gone to the store, paid for the groceries nor baked the pie. You might conclude they thought it should have been a piece of cake to live here.

Groceries are more these days. I see many people struggle in their day to day life. Those people under 30 want what we have yet seem to think they don't have to work late nights, extra days or weekends to afford it. It should be easier in their minds. After all they don't have mentors or teachers these days. They have the internet. Many have been taught not to give or keep their word. It's about what you get, not how you get it. Trust seems to be a thing of the past to the point that even God isn't trusted. Yet our youth wants to believe in something when little is believable.

As for me, I hope the candidate that is elected represents our whole country. Fulfills the promises that they are making. Afterall, they are to be public servants. I will be looking at the Vice President candidate as that will most likely be our future President. I think it's safe to say we live in troubled times.

I would encourage each one of us to keep our eyes open. Search for what is best for our future, all of us. Yet some won't be happy with that thought. I believe it's not about what's good for me, but what is good for us. Something to think about as we approach our Independence day. What would those who signed the declaration of Independence think of us? Would they think their sacrifice was worth it? Just a few thoughts. Thanks, Pat.

My wife uses the statement "you have to do the right thing for a long time before people will notice". This seems to be all too true today. Social media seems to be filled with folks doing the foolish things we did in our youth.

Most of my poor decisions in life didn't take much time. The impulse buy, getting angry or something that was proceeded with the statement "hold my beer". The right thing was boring, well thought out and well executed. It's hard for our youth to see what is right today. The examples are fewer and they are too busy looking at the screen on their phone.

When I was growing up, we called the television the "b**b tube". The original ones had vacuum tubes and a picture tube. Today we have processors that turn our brains into a gelatinous goo. These inventions were intended to be entertainment and to access information. It turned into a distraction for the youth of our country. They follow our example. Again the family unit is demonized and belittled. Many say that a marriage certificate is just a piece of paper. My opinion is that it is giving your word. Don't give your word if you don't intend to keep it.

What is our word worth? Nothing if we don't put value to it. Sometimes we break our word. It happens, it should not be taken lightly. Our youth need challenges, obstacles things that make them problem solve. If we solve all their problems, then they will come up with new problems to hand off. They stay at home longer because there is no need to leave. They also haven't been given the tools to succeed. The device has puraded their most important tool into goo. We turned on the switch.

The youth will look at this post and think that it's a pass to blame everything wrong in their world on the silver haired drivers in the slow lane. In a country that is in need of examples, the future will look dim. Only doing the right thing for a long time will get us to the promised land. Just a thought. Thanks, Pat.

Memorial Day Weekend. It shouldn't be a weekend filled with bad decisions. God knows I've done my share. This isn't a weekend for Veterans, we have our own day. This isn't about those who are currently serving, they have their day.

This weekend is to remember those who didn't make it home. Those who gave the ultimate sacrifice and never left the service of our country. Those who gave the citizens of our country the right to make those decisions. Respect is something of a rarity these days. It seems to be replaced by entitlement. Those who feel entitled seem to be more fearful than others.

The difference seems to be action and lack of action. Courage is about being fearful and still going forward. Those who gave their lives knew fear yet didn't allow it to control them. They are men and women of honor. They took action when others didn't. It deserves my respect.

The entitled seem to be those who don't take action. They believe that this world owes them something for attending this gift called life. They tend to be parasitic in nature. They live off others and are upset when they don't get their hand out. They believe those who serve are somehow beneath them. Those who serve should be respected. After all, they are not only making our lives easier, but in many cases, possible. The entitled will take credit for the achievements of others without action on their part.

We have created this issue. We don't want others to go through what we have. The hard times define us and we should give the opportunity to our youth for greatness through struggle. Those who we respect this weekend were robbed of the full life many of us enjoy. However, they had a life worth living and we should respect that sacrifice. God has them now. I will remember with respect. If you are offended by this post, you are entitled to do so. Just my thoughts on this memorial day weekend. With respect, thank you! Pat.

Just another Sunday morning musing. I tend to ponder where I am in life. Goals that are set, in the process of reaching and those I have met. When I was younger (always makes me laugh when I hear an 18 year old girl say that) my goals were in the stars. I would look to see if there were stargazers around me and compare them to myself. How did my fellow stargazers measure up.

I would work for what I perceived as former stargazers and judge them on their progress or lack of it. My rocket ship would surely fly farther than theirs. I would ask myself if they had lost their way or run out of fuel. Why wouldn't they do it my way as again I had the answers for space flight. These were middle aged people.

Then I would look at the retired as old. Their spaceship has almost run out of fuel, some of the buttons don't work anymore and the check engine light seems to glow brighter now. How could this be? Did they let themselves go?

Ironically, the smartest person in the room is the child. The five year old that looks at the world in wonder. He looks at the 20 year old spaceship jetting by without time for the young lad. He looks at the middle aged spaceship who stops from time to time, but seems to be focused on grown up things. The child looks at the old spaceship with wonder. He asks the old spaceship "where have you been?" The dented up rocket will spend the time to share the journey with the child. The places it's seen and the people it's met.
We all are at different place in life. The journey is our own. Setting goals are good, but being at peace with where you are shouldn't be discounted. There is a time for everything, don't forget the child in yourself as you can share someone else's journey. Be happy with where you are in life and don't compare it to others. We all have blessings, realizing them is a pretty big goal. thanks, Pat.

We made it back from Reno. A long drive to the Farriers National Convention, but we had a chance to connect with friends. They say "you can't teach an old dog a new trick". That doesn't explain why I learn new things. I think it just helps you to re-focus.
I came away this year elected as one of the regional directors for region 2. It's easy to sit back and complain about how things are. Many complain with little thought to solutions. You rarely come up with an answer to a problem without searching for a solution. On the rare occasion this happens, it's because someone else looked for it the answer in your absence.
A common theme within organizations is the lack of participation. You would think with the popularity of participation awards, many would at least show up. Participation seems to be too much to ask but many are quick to judge on the results.
I have always found that the amount of success is directly relative to the amount of effort and process applied in preparation. There will always be those who skim the top and succeed on the surface. They have created an image or persona that has little depth. They protect the image at all costs with little regard to the content of the task.
At the end of our journey will we be remembered for the image of perfection or the content of our character? Will we be remembered for the character we possessed to overcome adversity or the ability to avoid the issue?
Wars are won by many people with a common goal and unrelenting perseverance. On this Veterans Day Weekend I remember those with the character and perseverance.
It's nice to be home. Guess it's time to go to work. Thanks., Pat.
