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

Three Things Thursday

I have been thinking of this while I walk to work in the morning, so I decided to use it for my 3 things list.
My Three Favorite Things about morning...

1. The color of the sky. Lately the clouds have been an amazing shade of pink and the sky a blue violet.
2. The amount of animals in my neighborhood. For an urban neighborhood there are a lot of different animals. So far I have seen raccoons, rabbits, foxes, red tail hawks, coopers hawks, kestrels, great horned owl, prairie dogs and heard coyotes.
3. The smell. Hard to describe, the crisp cool air, with a hint of leftover wood smoke and frost.
