Sally Miesen:  

I have many goals and many things I still want to do in this lifetime as I'm sure you do as well! We continue to learn new things all the time, and whenever one door closes another will always open. My faith is strong, and helps me to see things in a new perspective rather than thinking that I have all the answers myself! I have served our country in the military, and am a veteran. But, in joining the military right after graduation of high school, I lost touch with most in my class of 1978. Once you get into the military, those people you work with, become your new family while away from your blood family. I have even lost contact with many of those folks too. now since being a civilian again and moving cross country- Louisiana-Washington, Michigan, North Carolina, to Texas!! Living all around is different in cultures, foods, and customs! People are generally kind, willing to help you, and easy-going in most places however in Texas schools do not provide drivers training like I went through in Michigan as a 15 year old. Here you can drive with a parent or other adult who signs off on your card which you submit to the DMV, take your written test, and start driving! The driving abilities I have seen do differ by state. So be careful out there! Enjoy life, have Faith! Love your family and friends, give comfort to those in need!! Married while in the Air Force, divorced after 7 years together, starting over sort of can single you out and some will label you a "failure". But that's okay, because I know who I am, who and what mistakes I've made and been forgiven for, and that life is a journey designed to teach us new things, every day, until we pass from this life, into our heavenly reward. Some judge others when we should not for all are human and all make mistakes. I have forgiven those who used to try causing me grief in school (you know who you are), and am no longer bothered by the “little things”. We control what we allow to influence our lives! Let us be influenced by positivity-by our words, actions, and deeds on a daily basis! Some say I should be a motivational speaker. I try to look at the bright side in any situation, even those you would find "unfavorable", because it just isn't worth it to worry and grumble and fret about things you cannot change. There are plenty of books available for self-help, and one day I do plan to write a book about the events of my lifetime, but not necessarily an autobiography. I have always liked and enjoyed working with people, and animals. Gaining trust, is a valuable and cherished thing, that is not to be wasted. To be blamed for things outside of your control only hurts you if you let it. I believe I will continue to live life as best I can, making good decisions and helping others whenever I am able! Magic, my TWH gelding, is now 20ish years old, trained by Clinton Anderson's clinician in the beginning and some intermediate methods through planned and professional training and coursework. He is amazing, beautiful, and although I c...Expand for more
