"Turning Point" by Susan Pearl

 In my humble opinion I think the expression "turning point" is expressing "change".

Life is change from birth onward. Life is filled with multiple turning points.

Right now there are several areas of turning points that people are going through or experiencing around them.

Turning points can be for the better---turning points can be for the worse.

We might not be able to stop a change.

      but as we work through it we can try to make it better. 

So every time a turning point changes things for the worse let's try to make it better.

And every time a turning point changes for the better let's be thankful and hold on to the 

     good work that is of benefit to all.

"Where's the Button" by Susan Pearl

 Sewing on a white two-hole button onto the cuff of a man's white shirt shouldn't take too long,

I have allotted eight minutes because everything I need is right here,

and they say that half of a project is rounding everything up.

Now, where is that white button?- it was laying right here on the white shirt.

Should I shake out the shirt?

What is that ping sound on the glassware?

This room is full of glassware. It has been twenty minutes and I finally found the button.

Now I need to thread the needle.

I am safely putting the white button in an antique gold cup.

Now, to thread the needle. Yes, three tries isn't that bad.

I may have more mending so I am cutting the thread a yard long and tying a knot.

Here goes. Everything is lined up. Whoops! the thread is knotting up and I can't pull it through.

What to do> Slow down and get it done as fast as I can.

I cut the thread. Where's the button?

My husband walks in wearing a plaid shirt. 

He said, "They changed the dress code from formal to casual for tonight's club meeting.

"Neither of Us" by Susan Pearl

 My husband and I are into a more advanced time of aging. 

I was carrying some bedding today and one piece fell to the floor.

I asked, "Which one of us is more capable of picking that up off of the floor?"

My husband replied, "Neither.  Your not able and neither am I."

"Neither of us" was his reply.

"From Younger to Older Opposites" by: Susan Pearl

 When I was a little girl people said I was fidgety

   and that I should "sit still".

Now, I am an older woman

   and people tell me to "keep moving".

 Dear Readers,

I apologize for not blogging for several months.  We had a family health and medical crisis that has lasted for these several months. Time has been of the essence and things have gradually gotten better one of which was in the nick of time. 

There were two family members hospitalized for surgery during this time. Then began the roads to recoveries. It seemed like life as we knew it was  suddenly swept away and to keep our heads above water was a very successful day.

I am hoping to write my blog again in June.  Thank you for all understanding. "Family comes first" to us as we support each other when needed to the foremost.  We believe this is the way a family should be.

Thank You.

"Imagination And Life" by Susan Pearl

 I think that imagination is a beautiful part in the life of an innocent childhood.

I remember pretending to be a teacher or a telephone operator, or a nurse with my nurse's kit.

It was fun to imagine that the fairytales and wonderful characters in stories on TV and in books to be real.

But with adulthood comes the realization that changes the world of make believe-

The adult years move us on to discover life in new ways-

 and, as adults, 

We realize that life is truly fascinating with more to learn and explore than ever imagined.
