It's the first day of August, and all of us are going back to school in the next few weeks. I have to tell you that there is something inside of me that just cringes. It's not about going back--it's about all the stuff I haven't gotten done this summer.
I haven't cleaned out my basement. I haven't made all the learning centers I planned to make. I haven't lost the weight I hoped to lose. I haven't read all the books on my summer list. But isn't this a vicious trap? There is always an infinite amount that could get done.
Let's agree together to make today the day we just chill out. Everything that needs to get done, will get done--honest. Let's be gentle with ourselves this month--and with other people, too! I believe we will have more energy for the projects that really must be done if we're not wasting energy regretting what we haven't gotten done.

A revolution is stirring!
