Thoughts on life to ponder. This particular page is where I will share my thoughts and ideas in regards to my past. Hoping that in some way it will help my visitors. I want to share some of my thoughts in recent days. I will link to pages from here that are in direct relation to my thoughts or ideas in regards to that critical first choice that is likely in a child's future. It is about placing my thoughts on paper and just maybe someone can use this for a strategy to help raise their child's awareness.

My thoughts on life during my walk.Reflections of my life in regards to my Dad, visit me often here is a short video to explain.
The Mighty Mississippi
Thoughts To Ponder
I was out the other day and went to a place I have not been to in over forty years. This place was a big part of my play ground as a child. Our name for this place back then was, "Hidden Valley". It sits on the Mississippi river south of St.Louis City. Back then it was like the country all forest and river for the most part.I was flooded with memories of those days. I was surprised by land marks that still existed. Then I began to think of just a few short years from that time in my childhood, I made that choice that changed my life, my families and so many others lives. It was as if the Tim they all new disappeared. My thoughts on life when I watch children out having fun I wonder if one of those kids future will turn into my past. It does not have to be that way. We have to help them see this monster. They must see it in order to avoid it. That is why it is so important to prepare and educate your children long before they may face that choice to use or not to use drugs or alcohol. We need to start with tiny steps to stay away from chemicals that are bad like smoking or drinking coffee at a very young age. These drugs that we use so often everyday will stand in the way of a young body maturing properly, that goes for their young brain also. My Walk
Here are some of the photos along the walk me and my dog Kendall take quite often. This is also memory lane for me, it brings many thoughts about my past and present. The first photo from top to bottom is from the beginning of my usual walk to the turn around point. Then it's back up in the same order to the end of the walk. Thoughts on life in my neck of the woods. #1) This is The Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery. A big part of my childhood playground. A big part of history for our Country. #2)This Is St.Bernadette Elementary school. My school from kindergarten to the eighth grade. I was elected president in the eighth grade. I was the class clown it was a joke on me.LOL#3)The Cemetery again which I pass three times on this walk. It's a very large cemetery. The construction is part of the United States National Guard development.#4)We call this Canon Ball Hill a place we used to sled ride and in the summer time we would barrel roll or whatever we would come up with. You know how kids are.#5)Another shot at the Canon at the top of the hill along me and kendall's walk.#6)The cemetery wall a place we visited daily as kids in the summer time. We did so much on this wall. It's amazing what kids can come up with on an old stone wall. It was a blast!#7) Here is a glimpse of the Mighty Mississippi River one of the largest rivers in North America. At the present time the river is high.#8)This is what we named Hidden valley. A spring coming from under the earth and shortly there after emptying into the Mississippi River. We played here quite often. We used to drink the water. I would not advise that now.#9)This grave stone I noticed because it looked new in an old section of the cemetery. The husband died before I was born in the war. His wife live till 2007 as you can see, to be 100 years old. I just added this because it is unusual.#10)Here is another shot of the Canon from the other side of the hill. Almost to my turn around and return home point.#11)Where the sign is there used to be an old train station we played in and around lots. No more station. Now I turn my self around and head back home.This walk gives me and my dog some good exercise of the body, mind, and soul. This walk helps me mature and also allows me to be a kid for a spell. Hope you enjoyed the walk. Its all about thoughts on life.

Scary Thoughts
To watch your child and in the same moment wonder will they be a victim of drug and alcohol abuse is a scary thought. You can do something about it.If you and the schools start preparing and educating them on the disguises of this likely choice. With their favorite peers in a friendly atmosphere this choice is simple and innocent. You start educating them from as early as preschool it will allow a few years to help raise their awareness to this demon of a choice. That is giving you and your child the necessary tools to understand this choice. You will be at more ease knowing your child has grounded awareness to say no to this choice. Thoughts on life in action. What I Know Now
How many times have you looked back on your life and said,"If I would have only known what I know now". The good thing about that is you do know now and you need to pass this on to your children. Many critical thoughts on life are extremely necessary to share with children especially the ones with bad or dead ends. You must figure a way to teach your child so they understand as you do now. The quote I just mentioned above I say to myself often about several decisions I've made in my life. Most of those decisions were not life changers, such as that choice to drink that homemade wine when I was seventeen. That is the reason I am creating this site. I did not want to let my decision to try and make a difference blow in the wind. If we can just get children to understand that one day not so far off they will be making their own decisions. Thoughts on life come more often later in life because we become wiser by trial and error. Most of us learn from the mistakes we make. The choice to use drugs or alcohol when one is very young can bring years of waste and often death before one surrenders to help. So many ruined lives over that choice to do or not to do drugs or alcohol. It is not getting any better. They need a healthy fear of drugs and alcohol till they get old enough or mature enough to see the whole picture. They do not need it to feel good or feel better about themselves. If they have self respect and good self esteem they will not need to use something to alter their mood. They will understand the price you pay to change that mood with chemicals.
