September means new beginnings

I saw on a list of holidays that September is considered Self Improvement Month – probably made up by bloggers in an attempt to have something to say since most of us are either yearly adopters or don’t bother at all. In any event it got me thinking about Fall and the start of the school year. Autumn usually gets categorized as a time of slowing down, dying leaves, and colder weather moving people back inside. Because I always loved going back to school, I’ve always felt like it is a time of new beginnings – not the homework part, but the chance to meet new people, take a class in a brand new subject, or explore a new part of the country (I changed schools a lot.)
Even though it’s been years since I was pursuing any kind of degree that feeling has never left. There’s a feeling of anticipation in the air, of things about to happen…
Changing labels

If I didn’t tell you this was a dandelion, you might not recognize it. Does the word ‘weed’ immediately jump to mind? Does the flower become less attractive when it becomes ordinary?
Are you giving negative labels to things in your life that maybe just need a change of context (like not being in the middle of the lawn?)
