This storypeople started my morning out right with a big smile on my face. I guess you could say after listening to The Power thoughts of "loving" are constantly on my mind. While I don't find it difficult to love the people/things I love, I am, unfortunately, still needing mental reminders about loving the things I don't love. Some days it does feel a little like slaying dragons would be easier. I am finding, though, while focusing on the good that my outlook is not only brighter, but I'm enjoying the little things so much more. Thanks Jill for the book suggestion. I feel like the book plus my experience at Squam is changing me in the best way.
02. I am holding onto Autumn as long as mother nature will let me. This is one of the longest falls I can recall in several years now, in fact I don't remember being this far into November and still seeing so much color on the trees. While I can't keep up with how quickly it goes from snowy and cold to warm and sunny, I'm simply grateful it's taking it's time.
03. I had the privilege of hearing Neylan McBaine, the founder of Mormon Woman Project, speak last night at a church YW night. I was pleasantly surprise to see that she was the key note speaker and found myself mesmerized as I listened to quotes and stories from other Mormon women making a difference in their part of the world. What I took home with me is that no matter where we're from or what we believe, we all have a unique voice and something unique to offer each other...we should never be afraid to share who we are.
04. Thank goodness for classroom pets like brownie that allow us to get away with not having one of our very own.

I'm so glad you liked The Power and are changing your outlook. It is on my mind all the time as I try to refocus and change the way I think. I catch myself whenever negative thoughts creep in (which is sadly quite often) but then I reword them and find the good things to love.
I have been loving the fall colors and have been very happy that our fall has been so satisfying.
I think having Brownie visit your home every so often is probably way more fun than having him/her there all the time.

I was also thinking that this fall seems way longer than usual. It is thrilling to me.
I am loving this Fall! It's going on forever and I am hanging onto each day. We've been out on bikes, going for walks, and I've had some nice runs along the trails. I know it won't last much longer. Great photo!
