Here in New England, the last couple of days have been just “drismal” – a word our weather guy loves to use. 😉
You know what he means though. It’s damp and dreary with constant light drizzle. Last night, we actually needed a blanket for the first time in weeks. Fall is definitely in the air, Kids!
Today’s post features some positive things to think about as summer winds down and autumn approaches . . .

Smiles and hugs!
Labor Day is fast approaching and bringing with it the unofficial end of summer.
Although we usually make resolutions on January 1st, it seems to me that whenever the seasons change, there’s an opportunity to regroup a little, make plans, strive for more balance, and remind ourselves to live in the moment.
I came across a list that I think could be the perfect formula for “autumn resolutions”. There are definitely a few gems in this bunch! 😀
Which one do you like best?
Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Buy a lock if you have to.
Try to make at least three people smile each day.
Clear clutter from your house, your car, your desk and let new and flowing energy into your life.
Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a college kid.
Live with the 3 E’s — Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.
Spend time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6. – Appreciate their genuine nature, strength, and innocence.
Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
Smile and laugh more. It will keep the energy vampires away.
Don’t compare your life to others’. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.
No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
