A Mothers thoughts on her son becoming a police officer



It seems in this day and age that wrong is becoming what is right and what's right is becoming wrong and unpopular. The energy that is being expelled by so many people in our country seems to be fueling an evil that is out of control. People are hiding behind their own prejudice and making excuses for their own actions, trying to blame everyone but themselves. Our society doesn't want to believe that their own actions have any kind of consequence. People don't think they are responsible for their own choices. It has become an age of entitlement were people think they are owed things without working for it or earning it. It has become the norm to ignore any kind of morals because people think its ok to do, say, and wear what ever they want. Their is no common courtesy or respect for others displayed in society much any more at all. All these things make me very nervous to have a son that wants to be a police officer. It is becoming more unsafe as people have no regard for the laws of our land or have any kind of conscious at all. As I read the headlines of cops being shot by snipers because the person wanted to kill white people I think, good grief how in the world do these kinds of people justify their horrible behavior. Someday my son wants to be a cop, and he is not prejudice or an evil person. He believes in upholding the law. He is kind, smart, loyal. He is an Eagle Scout and believes all the things he was taught. Someday he could be that cop someone shoots because they think their making some point. Sorry, but there is no point to that. It's just plain stupid. My son doesn't hate you, he wants to be a cop to uphold the law and keep people safe. These people doing these demonstrations are doing nothing to keep anyone safe. Specially by shooting Police officers, it just makes you look like a criminal, a low life, someone who should be in jail. If you want a better life, you want to be treated differently then quit having an attitude, quit being the racist you are accusing everyone else of being, do unto others as you would have done unto you. Don't shoot my son because someone wronged you, it's not his fault.

I love Nature.

I took this picture across the street from my home. I am fortunate to live in one of the most beautiful places on earth...The Pacific Northwest. I love nature. It's so simple and pure. Have you ever seen something like in this picture and stood there and contemplated just being? I remember taking a deep breath and just letting it out. Nature is so relaxing. I like how I can stand still, listening, and feeling everything around me, the wind, the sounds, and even the smells. It all allows me to connect to my environment, and to me appreciate it even more. Have you ever listened long enough to hear the trees creek, the leaves rustle, then the many different kinds of birds chirping, rustling in the trees or undergrowth, watched the ants on their different kinds of missions? Raising children these were all things that I loved pointing out to them....The world has so many little worlds on it, it's a truly amazing and beautiful place.

Life Shapes You........

Image
Growing up no one thought I would ever have any kids. Why, because I didn't want to have anything to do with them. I think I babysat one time, after that I always said no. I chose to babysit animals, mostly horses for our next door neighbor. Growing up I was totally a horse person. I loved the quiet time to think and talk to the horses. I spent hours and hours by myself. I was the youngest of eight children but being that my closest sibling was 5 years older then I, it felt more like growing up an only child. Over the years I have thought about how I felt about how I grew up, there are some things that shaped me that I believe altered my divine path. I think the number one thing, was that being so much younger then the rest of my siblings, I was always left out. I was always told I was to young to play games with them, to young to go on outings, and so I was hardly ever included...at least not enough for me to form any lasting memories of togetherness with my siblings. I a

Walls

Image
Over the years I have found that the things that I have experienced in life has caused me to build many walls. Many say that others actions don't effect anyone but themselves but I do not believe this. Our actions always effect those around us. I was born into a large family. I am the youngest of eight children and I was not planned. When I was only one year old one of my brothers was killed by two drunk drivers that were following each other in separate cars. The first car hit the pickup that my brother was a passenger, the pickup was spun around and was cross ways in the road. My brothers friend who was driving had hurt his knee and my brother got out to go around the pickup to check on his friend, that is when the second car came around the bend and slammed into the pickup throwing my brother a distance. This driver continued his motion and ran over my brothers body. The accident report says that there were tire tracks across my brothers chest. This incident has effect
