THOUGHTS.

*M turns 8!! in a week and half! Gets baptized this month too and he is so super excited:)

*I love Sherelle Christensen's blog the life of a farmers wife and would sincerely love a life just like it! ... Fresh clothes off the line, chickens, massive gardens, kids with real chores and long work hours who help in every way from canning to harvest..............vintage in its real life glory the beautiful things I remember about my Apron wearing grandma and my freshly washed line drying clothes hanging mamma......days of my childhood..... I really should just start my own colony with like minded vintage loving county folk ha ha;) but some days I crave it!!
Take some time to explore it its amazing!

 

..... Sometimes I really do feel old fashioned in my thinking...... that sometimes I can't understand how people don't see whats wrong with the picture and blindly accept whatever the people, or media etc tell them...

I have a hard time with change thats a given right;)

For instance I don't see a thing wrong with the way math has always been taught how does adding 3 extra steps make it any easier I would have died learning that! Whats wrong with fingers??

I don't see how learning and sitting in a desk is wrong or outdated either?

 or that eating raw cookie dough is bad for you but hey who am I? oh just maybe the person who's been doing it since I was a kid 
and grew up doing it? 

and drinking from the hose isn't going to kill you......

I think instead of trying to invent new methods we actually should adopt some old ways of doing things putting some of the
"old school" back into society
the Lords prayer, actual discipline, actual parenting,  and on and on

We for sure had a more moral, value driven, respectful, less lazy society back then then we do nowadays.....

Whats wrong with a little discipline? I can think of a few people/adults who need spanked;)  ....or .... A, B's and C's on report cards or

Honor rolls to let those who know they worked hard have the honor they deserve because THEY WORKED FOR IT!!! which instills a work harder mentality instead oh pat on the back every bodies the same crap.....

Or

How about society as a whole quit taking offense to every little thing stop crying discrimination, racism and non tolerance about every little thing because you feel judged or your feelings are hurt or you feel picked on............ GET OVER IT do something with your own life don't try to change the worlds view so you feel better about yourself .......thats life.........a vital part of life pick up move on......

WE HAVE AN OPINION that is our RIGHT
All of our rights whatever you believe.

Freedom of speech isn't freedom of anything anymore. Because were letting it slide were accepting everything we see and are told....

apparently what's on your cell phone can incriminate you all over the media your own PRIVATE isn't even your own anymore..

no matter how raunchy you are in private.....

We {well not me;) embrace the disgusting Miley trash and then try to ban books like the Dr. Suess hop on pop because it promotes violence on dad {for real ?} seriously messed up!

We have rules and by laws we don't even know exist and continue to make up as a society, the need for ridiculous laws that only restrict us more because nobody has common sense anymore...........
is really what it comes down to......

So what I'm saying is its not going to get any better each day finds some new way of crazy working its way into our minds that is acceptable and okay things that never were or should be in society or life and we idly stand by watching it happen or blindly accept everything people tell us all the while thinking all is well in Zion???

.......

.....and another one of the biggest problems in todays society?? ...... take a few minutes to watch it:) Its worth it:)  Were all guilty in some way:(  
Let's get real life back:)
{pause my music at the bottom though}

LOOK UP. LOOK AROUND. WAKE UP.

Be aware:)
thats my rant and I'm sticking to it;)

Happy Thoughts:) Happy Weekend:)
