"Two Conversations at the Same Time" by Susan Pearl

 My husband ate lunch at a different town yesterday-

So today I asked him if he had a good lunch.

He said, "Well, the potato salad-", 

I interrupted, "Are there still some potatoes in the basement?"

He answered "Yes".

My husband patiently continued saying, "About the lunch-

In a loud voice I continued asking, "Does any of the potatoes in the basement have sprouts"?

He answered, "A few. Why? What do you want to make"?

I answered, "I was thinking of making a potato salad but since you just had some yesterday I will

   make potato soup".

'Sounds delicious"! he exclaimed.

I added, "I am so glad we had this conversation about what to fix for dinner. 

We should do this more often".

"Pet Peeve" by Susan Pearl

 I do have a pet peeve,

It irritates me to be interrupted when I am talking,

Because I like to finish what I am talking about.

If I am interrupted I can lose my train of thought. 

If I lose my train of thought it can totally escape me.

My husband thinks that interrupting someone, also, includes-

Interrupting someone from watching TV.

He said especially if the interruption takes place at a very important part-

of what they have have been watching.

I asked him for an example.  

He said, "Like the other night I was watching a good show on TV when they said,

   "And the verdict is"_ just then you blurted out from across the room,

"Did you thaw out the chicken?"-".

I interrupted my husband by quickly saying,

"That was the thought that escaped me when you interrupted me talking."  

"New Motto" by Susan Pearl

We are now on our way to our 60th Wedding Anniversary. 

Some people ask if we have found a secret or two or three.

All I know is that at our age we have made up a new motto.

Because if a person has more work over, over, over, again, and again-

Eventually, the work doesn't ever end,

So, I know our new motto is true,

"There really can be too much work to do".

"Relaxing Thought" by Susan Pearl

The "Slanted Rain" is the name

   of the captured view inside the picture frame,

  stationed on the hallway wall.

I have been told "Rain" is a relaxing thought-

With "slanted rain" taking the top slot for the most relaxing thought.

What is it about "slanted rain" that captivates the mind like an incredible dawn?

That locks the eye as time passes by relaxing my

-- ah .......yawn, ....yawn,......yawn.......

"Job Interview Thought" by Susan Pearl

Someone we know had a job interview this week.

I said these six words:

"Show them the star you are".

An update read: "The interview went wonderful". 

I am so glad it went well, now, time will tell. 

So just wait and see because there is no guarantee.

"Waiting for Dream" by Susan Pearl

 Dear Readers, 

Thank you for reading the past blogs. 

I am working on getting the nine children books I have written to be published.

There is a lot to do and everything is new to me.

It will take time but we will get there.

Dreams do come true.

With time and grace a change does take place.

And I know: No matter how long or late all will be worth the wait.

Sincerely,

Susan Pearl

"A Special Time to Share" by Susan Pearl

 Dear Readers,

Please rejoice with me because about this time two years ago I was told I had two years to live.  

So in August two years ago I had a lifesaving procedure. August is, also, our Wedding Anniversary.

This August will be our 59th Wedding Anniversary. So I was surprised today when I thought exactly 

what I want to say to my husband on our 59th Wedding Anniversary just about six weeks away.

I want to make a card and on the front of the card I want to write:

From your wife of 59 years------(then open up the card and have these words)

"What more could I have ever asked for?"   Love you with all my heart.

I wanted to share this with my readers because whenever I think of something to write and it makes me

cry I always share it on my blog. 

Sincerely,

Susan Pearl

" Relationships " by Susan Pearl

A good relationship is like a clock,

The pendulum has to swing both ways-

For time to move forward.

"Reflections of Time" by Susan Pearl

They say at night that the stars we see-

Are reflections of burnt out stars from other galaxies.

The burnt out stars emitted light travels through lightyears of time

Giving us an opportunity to see their beauty, 

These stars no longer exist but their light does, showing the light they left behind---

Showing the shine of the reflections in time.

Lightyears and lightyears their light has traveled coming to you and to me

Showing the reflection of their one time existence is now for us to see.
