"People spend too much time finding other people to blame, too much energy finding excuses for not being what they are capable of being, and not enough energy putting themselves on the line, growing out of the past, and getting on with their lives."
With all the wonderful Autumn colors filling my neighborhood, I can't help but feel inspired to create. There have been some great ideas all across the blogosphere. Take a peek at these links:

"When you have compassion and surrender to your own heart, you are surrendering to the hidden power in your heart, God. You are surrendering to love, because God is Love, the cohesive force of the universe that connects us all. Surrender is not just a religious concept; it's a power tool for listening to the voice of your spirit and following its directions. When you surrender your head to your heart, you allow your heart to give you a wider, higher intelligence perspective. Remember the phrase, ‘The real teacher is within you.’ Very simply, that teacher is to be found in the common sense of your own heart."
The older children started school last week and Henry had his first day of kindergarten yesterday. The entire summer he was extremely anxious about school. There were times he would run upstairs crying out, "I'm not going to school!" You can just imagine how nervous he made my husband and I. We couldn't help but imagine history's worst first day of school, soon to occur. But it didn't happen that way at all...
I couldn't help but tear up as he walked to the bus stop. He suddenly looked two inches taller and all grown up.
Even Simon realized how important this day was because he walked with us all the way to the bus stop.
Henry, was quite scared but made it on the bus with no problem.
As the bus took off, we could see him waving until the bus turned the corner.
After school, he got off the bus as if he'd been doing this all his life. I'm so proud of his bravery and a little sad, only because they all seem to be growing up so quickly.
How was your child's first day of school?

Happy Monday! Time to share some music so you can start the week with a skip in your step. I hope you play along and link your playlist with a comment below. :)
"Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him."
Right now, I AM...
so grateful for the crisp morning air. I'm really looking forward to Autumn.

A Friday ritual. A single photo. No words.
A simple but special moment to savor and remember.
