Quality over Quantity

There is something fantastic about this time of year...the end of the summer and the beginning of a new school year. I don't think it's just because I'm a teacher, I've always been excited for the beginning of school. I love school shopping and buying new supplies...It's also a time of renewal. Most people like to set new goals in January, but I always set new goals for myself in September as well. I'm always hopeful that I'll become more organized, be more creative, or save more money.

Another major plus to this time of year is my wardrobe. It is much more flattering than my summer wardrobe and way more comfy. I love cardigans!

The official end of summer, Labor Day weekend, brought me two of my favorite people and turned out to be a wonderful weekend with my beautiful friends. I've said it before and I'll say it again- my friends keep me grounded and help me remember where I came from and who I am. It's always good for my soul to spend time with them. As I get older it has become more and more apparent to me how vital it is to surround yourself with good people. I know that I need people around me who support me and believe in me and don't judge me. I have no space in my life for anything less than that and I believe that as you get older you can also become more picky with your time. I know that I worry about not having enough friends around, but I try to remind myself that real friendship is more quality than quantity. I'm thankful for the quality.
