It's blistering hot today,
I'm itchy and pitching hay.
An icy drink waits for me,
In the shade of a big tree.
Then I'll rinse off in the pond,
The day has been hard and long.
My bed has fresh, new, soft hay,
Where under the stars I'll lay,
After I call it a day.

"Birthday Wishes For All" by Susan Pearl
Birthday thoughts to you,
With "Best Wishes", too.
From the rooster's call
To the shadows fall-
May your day be blessed
With great "Happiness".

"Same Boat" by Susan Pearl
So many of us are in the same boat-
and it is not a yacht.
I truly think that if we have a roof over our head,
clothes on our back, good air to breathe,
food on our table and clean water to drink-
we have everything we need.
I know it sounds simplistic and basic
but I think it is a noble and realistic goal
and has great worth in a priceless way.

"An Orange for Christmas" by Susan Pearl
Whenever the holiday season nears,
I fondly remember my father-in-law telling of when he was a little boy all he got for Christmas was an orange.
The part of the story that I think is fascinating is that he didn't eat the orange right away.
He played with it all day pretending it was a toy-
Savoring the fragrance, rolling it on the floor and maybe he and this brothers even played catch with their oranges....what special fun.
How juicy each bite of the orange must have been at the end of Christmas day.

"My Heart of Gratitude" by Susan Pearl
My personal start to having a grateful heart...
It all begins with having an awareness of the good around me.
Having this awareness leads me to expressing my acknowledgement of the beauty
and wonderful joys I have known and have been given.
This acknowledgement gives me more joy and I am grateful for my life
and for the ways of getting through the difficult times of change and challenge,
and the gentle, kind times of pause and reflection.
An attitude of gratitude for me begins with the realistic awareness
and realization of the good in my life,
expressing that realization-
and expressing my thankfulness for it.
