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

New Toy

Okay it is official, I have now have a permanent address in geekdom. I have been on some extended visits before but now I have official relocated. What brought on this realization? Ron got me a great just because present this weekend. What was it, flowers, jewelry, nope a wireless keyboard and a new wireless mouse. And I was thrilled! I love it. Look I am typing over here. And now over here and now waaay over here. Wait that isn't so good, I can't see the screen that far away. But you get the idea. Ron's brother was sort of worried that I wouldn't like the surprise. Figured it was sort of like giving a vacuum cleaner for a birthday present. But Ron told him not to worry, he knows me. I guess that is the differences in the places in our relationship. For us after 15 years of marriage, the fact Ron just knows I would love the keyboard, better than flowers, candy, etc, is very romantic. But for his brother who is in a very committed almost engaged (whatever) relationship, they are still in the hearts and flowers stage. I am not sure when things changed, I think it was a slow evolution. And that is not to say I don't get flowers, jewelry. But he knows I would rather have tulips on Valentine's Day and funky silver jewelry instead of diamonds. That is romance, that and cooking dinner and cleaning the kitchen occasionally without being asked. Yep I think I've got a keeper...
