Talking in Parenthesis
Ramblings and angst from a mostly stay at home mom
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us. It is in everyone. And as we let our light shine, we give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. -Nelson Mandela

Your Theme Song is Beautiful Day by U2 |
 "Sky falls, you feel like It's a beautiful day Don't let it get away" You see the beauty in life, especially in ordinary everyday moments. And if you're feeling down, even that seems a little beautiful too. |

I wish could come up with some wonderful inspiring title. But frankly I can't. Yesterday afternoon a friend and mock trial teammate of my oldest son died after being taken off life support. She was walking across the street next to the high school to go to the store to buy a cake for her friend when a guy turning right hit her. She was 15 years old.

Three Things Thursday
Okay that little time out by You Tube inspired a TTT.
Bands that really loved in high school and college.
1. Erasure! There is no way you can be in a bad mood when listening to this!
2. Depeche Mode especially when I was in a "deep" mood.
3. INXS Before Micheal killed himself. This was prime getting ready to go out music.
