"Could be a Solving Thought" by Susan Pearl

Throughout my life I have had some frustration about the behavior or words of others.

Many, many times I have tried to overcome my frustrations but wait-

One day this year I started talking about my latest frustration when the person I was talking to stopped me by interrupting. 

In very few words this person turned my thinking around.

Could it be? Could it be me? Are you kidding? What?  Is that possible? ME???

The words were:  "You're making way too much out of it". 

I had the answer inside of myself and needed to be shown--

"You're making too much of it."

What was the frustration about, well, even trying to remember is "making way too much out of it". 

And that's the end to a whole lot of frustration by applying a new thought that may be a solving thought. 

"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
