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

Good grief I almost forgot that it was Thursday. I hate it when Mondays are holidays, messes up my whole week.

Been thinking of things for TTT and after a conversation with my youngest son decided that today will be the 3 things I miss about being little. I am not talking about teen stuff, more like early elementary age.

1. Riding my bike. Just riding for no reason, in circle, skidding out etc. Not to get from point A to point B, or for exercise.

2. The excitement of cartoons. Remember when cartoons were on only Saturday or special holidays, like the Charlie Brown stuff? Now they are on 24hrs and they are special.

3. Sitting any ol way in the chair I please. I used to watch TV upside down. Now if I can get myself in that position and that is a big if somedays, I will get or sure looked at like I need serious help. But in my house it is very likely I will asked what is wrong with me.

There are a bunch others, i think I will do a post about it later in the week.
