I love the fall!

I love the fall! I love the cool breezes and golden red sunsets it brings. I love sitting outside and listening to the leaves rustle as they spread across the ground. Fall means that the holidays are just around the corner. Fall means lazy cuddle afternoons. I love the fall. Happy Fall!

Success.

How do you define or measure success? Is it in how much money you make? Is it in the amount of praise or compliments you receive from others on your hard work? Or maybe even being promoted? Do you have to see a-lot of it before you can say you are really successful? I used to feel this way, but my busy life has made me take a step back and re-evaluate what success really means to me. Today success means taking baby steps. Today success means picking up Aleyna at school and hearing that she had a great day! Today success means seeing Alicia's face light up when she talks about how well she did on her reading benchmark! Today success means watching Abigail laugh and dance while she watches her favorite television program. Today success means realizing that I have finally taken and passed my real estate exam! Success is what you make of it! If success for you means that you finally got to clean your house for the first time in two, three, or even four weeks, then good for you! You are a success! We all are when you think about it! Keep being successful! It feels great!
