One thing about always staying in the groove
is that it can eventually turn into being in a rut.
And if the rut gets too deep to get out of, I have been told,
that is the true definition of being old.

" The Response" by Susan Pearl
Some memories seem so long ago and far away,
While others memories seem like only yesterday,
This is one of those "only yesterday" memories to me.
I had complimented a rancher for his success,
But his response was something I could have never guessed.
He told me straight faced, eye to eye, that there was something he wanted me to know,
That there was a time when he was about to lose everything many years ago,
A rancher two states away heard of his plight and called that night,
Telling that he had plush pastures but no cattle and if the cattle could be brought down to his place the cattle could graze for free,
So that is what they did and then his eyes became teary as he said to me,
"I want everyone to know that I am where I am today because of another person's kindness",
His response taught me that humbly so much good in our life is the result of a kindness given to us.

" Life's Grandeur " by Susan Pearl
In my opinion for something to be rare to find,
It won't be popping up everywhere all of the time,
But yet it can easily be in front of our very eyes,
Without being anything that money buys,
Like to see a new beauty where I did not see it before,
Or to understand and appreciate life's grandeur more and more,
Such rare moments I find or do they find me?
Showing me what before I could not see,
For I had to grow to know such moments one by one,
And life's grandeur will have more wonderful moments like these to come.

"Knowing True Fun" by Susan Pearl
True fun should not hurt anyone,
And that includes the other person's feelings, too.
But if it happens the person who is being made fun of
has to have a strong self love-
And this fact of self love is a protection, too,
That gives confidence in knowing such unkind fun is not true,
And then the fake feelings do not come,
Because the fact is known that it is not true fun.
And that includes the other person's feelings, too.
But if it happens the person who is being made fun of

And this fact of self love is a protection, too,
That gives confidence in knowing such unkind fun is not true,
And then the fake feelings do not come,
Because the fact is known that it is not true fun.
