{Favorite things..... thoughts..and a GIVeAwAY..}

 love this

Thanks so much for all the birthday wishes here, on the phone and on face book! What did we do before face book its kind of fun to see who is thinking of you the day of! It was a nice day I got a dozen roses, and a cake and D's parents stopped by it was nice to visit with them, and my sister D stopped by too! All with kind words and a gift so nice of them...my kids each brought me a rose and told me kindly the things they loved and appreciated about me and them D did it was awesome! Plus a less colder day of cross country skiing in one of our favorite places not to far from here! 

For a mom birthday it was a good day.

Me THINKS

"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, 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 all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

~Marianne Williamson

love that.
