Whenever I think of the process a person goes through,
I pick three things in the room and think of the process each item has had,
Like the the coffee table used to be part of a tree,
And the wool yarn used to be a lamb's fleece,
The coffee in a cup used to be coffee beans,
I realize that the process of change can really go to a high degree,
And that the process of change is not just for things but also for me,
It is a process to separate from the way I used to be, and at times that is not easy,
But life is change with many processes to go through,
Processes for personal growth and processes for leaving behind the life we once knew, too.

Sept.19- "The Noise Maker" By Susan Pearl
Our house needed new shingles,
My husband decided he would shingle the house,
During the beautiful Fall months of September and October he was up on top of the house "pounding away",
When finished there came an afternoon our neighbors were having their family gathering in their front yard,
My husband went outside for a brief moment and when he came back in he said that the little boy who lived next door had pointed towards him and exclaimed to the crowd,
"That's the man that makes all the noise,"
I then wondered if the shingling project had interrupted with the little boy's nap time....oh, dear.

Sept 18- "Case And Question" By Susan Pearl
I said that the shirt was too blue,
He said that blue was "relative",
Meaning that,what is too blue to one person may not be as blue to another person,
I thought that was interesting and new to me,
Can I actually buy something I don't like and the other person will like it?
I questioned my judgement and bought a gift certificate to the store for the gift,
Case and question---solved.

Sept.17-"Gratitude" By Susan Pearl
Whenever I'm in a mood that I'm not seeing the potential for good,
I try to remember I should have more gratitude,
And my thoughts change then to a happier view,
Because I am thinking of the good that has come to be that I know is true,
And when I take time to tell of the good I have seen and known,
A new time for me in which to be grateful is somehow shown.

Sept. 13- "Fall Thoughts" By Susan Pearl
Without a doubt,
This summer has been a drought,
But several rains came,
And things are trying to green up again,
So, maybe it will be a pretty Fall,
After all.

Sept 12- "Thanks But No Thanks" By Susan Pearl
My husband was trying to be considerate to me,
When he parked in the shade of the blossoming apple tree,
And the shade of the tree gave a comfortable temperature degree,
But the tree was simply the hang out of every local bee,
And so my wait in the car turned into sheer misery,
So please know that waiting in the shade of a blossoming tree,
May not really be the best of places to be.
