" Where, oh, Where is Prudent " by Susan Pearl

Sometimes I wonder what has happened to a certain word or where it went,
    because we don't hear that word as much anymore.
One of these words is the word "Prudent".

Is it prudent to not use the word "prudent"?
I don't think so.
I think "prudent" is a wonderful word
   and it conveys so much in the seven letters it takes to write it,
   or the two syllables to say it.

Has the word "prudent" been tossed aside as being too old fashion to use it frequently
   in these modern times?
Does it sound too much like the word "prunes"?

Does using the word "prudent" outdate us-
   like when I say "mimeograph" instead of the word "copy"?

Some definitions for the word prudent are: good judgement,
   common sense, keen awareness, resourcefulness, farsightedness,
   forethought, caution, and several more definitions-

It truly is a wonderful word and I miss hearing it
   and using it, too.
Let's be prudent and use the word "prudent" more
   in our everyday conversations.

It just might be the prudent thing to do.

"Celebrate the Small Wins " by Susan Pearl

Each day we should celebrate the small wins.
They are there before our very eyes
   for us to recognize.

Life isn't about having one great big award-but really and truly,
   it is about the small wins that lead to such a moment if it is meant to be.
And if that one big award doesn't happen or come our way,
We did have a wonderful and great life by celebrating the small wins each day.

Recognizing the smalls wins
   brings and gives a thankfulness for them.

Living a thankful life is a great life indeed,
   knowing that the small wins are what we need to succeed.

By celebrating the small wins,
   and taking time to notice them,
We recognize the good they do
   and this brings a special happiness, too.

" Leadership Quality " by Susan Pearl

Irritations and frustrations can be parts of daily life,
Why it has to be like that?---I don't know.
But I do know that some of life's irritations can develop our character.
We learn to adapt and adjust and accept imperfections-
   even our own imperfections.
We learn to take things in stride,
We learn how to hang on for life's ride,
Not knowing which way things may go--yet we do know-
   we will be fine either way
   because we won't surrender our pride or character to the irritations of the day.
Our character will become stronger and built upon more and more-
   until, maybe, the irritations won't be so irritating like before.
And that may be,
   what some people call "maturity".
A maturity with a patience that has been developed to a very high degree,
A maturity of patience that has reached a leadership quality.

" Coming Full Circle " by Susan Pearl

"Coming Full Circle" is an expression used to express a moment in life
     that holds great understanding as to what and why that moment came to be.
    
There is a gifted insight to such a special moment
     that shows how it all finally makes sense
     and that it took everything that has been gone through
     to bring about what it has come to be.

Two components finally meeting---- a beginning that started the eventual ending,
and the ending that  forms another new beginning
Life goes forward in a new way
     that closes a chapter, turns a page and starts a new and better day.
    
Realizing incredible hopes coming true
     even more than ever dreamed of, too.
Efforts carried forward and beyond each wall
     are now showing the grand purpose of it all.

What was aspired to--- has been achieved,
The change has been made,  not ever to be the same---

The original concept may have been far too big for anyone to fully see
     what would someday be,
     but when it happens--- people recognize---
     that right before there eyes---
     things have come full circle.
They have been a part of something far bigger than any one person could be,
They have lived to see the time when coming full circle becomes a new reality.
