From Johnny Biscuit at A little Nonsense

The older I get the more I see that dreams and hopes are just that unless they are tied to action. And even then it can seem luck of the draw. Life happens and you have to roll with it, that's for sure. But you have to reach for what you want, the really important things, and make them real by making them really important. Life has a cost and you pay it one way or another. Either you pay it with effort and sacrifice to get what you truly believe or you pay it by trying to handle what life throws at you.

From Danny Miller at Andy Hardy Writes A Blog

The teens in the film were great as were the parents/superheroes played by Kelly Preston and Kurt Russell. It even had a moving, non-smarmy moral that allowed for lots of interesting discussions after the film (conversations that I'm grateful for as Leah moves closer to the terrifying teen years). The film is about a high school for the children of superheroes. Upon enrollment, the kids are placed into two groups based on their powers: hero or sidekick. What an effective and fun way to look at the social minefield of high school, the damage that cliques can do, and issues of parental expectations and acceptance.

From Kirsten Johnson at Dream Big

life can become mundane and overwhelming if we go through it accomplishing big things and never taking the time to properly acknowledge their completion. and it can be hard to keep wanting to head for the next goal if there is no celebration at the end to look forward to.

celebrating doesn't have to take any particular form, maybe it's calling someone up and congratulating them, or perhaps making them a great meal and chatting about their success over dinner, or maybe it's just sending a simple email. however you do it take the time to make note of success when you see it - big or small.

so take a look around, at your life and the lives of those you love, what do you have to celebrate?

Enough for today... you go find something to celebrate.

I for one, have some home made ice cream that I can hear calling my name. You may recall this was left over from the birthday party for Carolyn. She is out on the town (Boston) with some friends to see Hamlet. I'll have my ice cream and think about what Trinity Square will do with Hamlet later this year.
