"One Step More" by Susan Pearl

A lady had gone through a very difficult time.
A young man commented to her that he knew it must have been hard.
The lady answered him by saying,
    "There have been times in my life that were not easy,
    but I did know kindness along the way."

To know kindness can make such a difference in our lives and in the lives of others.
Kindness brings encouragement for the courage to go that one step more.
And kindness gives hope that things will get better in a different way then before.
  

" Time and Time Again " by Susan Pearl

It just made sense to him,
     to be outdoors-----partners with nature,
     having a vacation escape each year by hiking in a rugged wilderness land,
    and being held captive by it all being so amazingly grand.
It just made sense to him.

There was something there in the great outdoors
   that no where else held for him-
He was drawn to its beauty and drawn to its charms
   and the majesty that awaited him
  was like a love awaiting for him with wide open arms
  for him to embrace time and time again.

Each time was like a reunion with a tireless and faithful friend,
Calling him over and over to come back again,
Answering that call just made sense to him-
   to go where he wanted truly to be
   with the passion of so much beauty to see
   joined with peace and tranquility.

Best wishes to the outdoorsman and outdoorswoman,
   and the time they spend-
   reconnecting, renewing and refreshing themselves with nature,
   recapturing a small part of what can not ever be totally captured--
With each time like a reunion of seeing a tireless sight of a faithful friend...
   giving a vastness to be drawn on
   and moments to be reflected upon---
   for years to come---- time and time again.

" The Flow of Progress" by Susan Pearl

I go with the flow unless it is going down the drain,
So----Each day---
    I keep "plugging" away.

Yes, to keep plugging away, plugging away-
   to try and to try again to go forward- day after day,
By doing a positive, productive and creative part for a progressive flow
   where all of people's best efforts for good really do show.

And may this flow of progress of so many people's constructive efforts
    keep carrying us all towards the view-
    of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, too,

Positive, productive and creative efforts given each day
  by plugging away-
Will help to keep the negative and destructive things that drain---
  to be held at bay,
So the flow of progress will continue to go towards the very best,
  of ---- life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

" A Plan Within a Plan " by Susan Pearl

It is best to have a plan and work towards good.

"Knowing our limits" is a "plan within a plan"
    and it is an ongoing "plan within a plan" through life.

Certain limits are in place for certain amounts that won't change.
They are facts like twenty-four hours in any given day.
While other limits change with the passage of time and circumstance.
And respecting these limits give acceptance in knowing a present peaceful way.

No matter what our plan, having this "plan within a plan" is best to be included, too.
And this "knowing our limits" is ongoing our whole life through.
Sometimes it will give us pause to not take on more than we can do.
Others times we realize we have grown and a new way is what to pursue.

At any rate a "plan within a plan" of knowing our limits to whatever we do,
   will be an ongoing "plan within a plan" our whole life through.
It brings an awareness of where we are in time,
   and this truth gives an ongoing peace of mind.
