A LITTLE SOMETHING TO MAKE YOU SMILE!

This is way too cute! An animated song/dance routine to the tune "Don't Worry, Be Happy" by Bobby McFerrin.

How long has it been?

since....

you went sock sliding across a slick floor

made paper bookmarks and sold them to your parents for 50 CENTS each

watched "The Never Ending Story?"

went to sleep at 2am and set your alarm for 7am because you wanted to

ate cold cereal instead of scrambled eggs because you liked it better

played football in the misty morning

had a tea party, complete with hats and long dresses

well, these are a few things that have taken place around here in the last 24 hours.
Our two younger kids(9 and 13) had friends spend the night and these are a few of their favorite things! What are some of yours? Hope you do at least one of them today!!

God Bless,
Susan

What do you think?

"It may be, then, that form serves us best when it works as an obstruction to baffle us and deflect our intended course. It may be that when we no longer know what to do we have come to our real work, and, that when we no longer know which way to go we have begun our real journey. The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings."

Wendall Berry, Poetry and Marriage: The Use of Older Forms,

May you have light in your soul!

If there is light in the soul,
There will be beauty in the person.
If there is beauty in the person,
There will be harmony in the house.
If there is harmony in the house,
There will be order in the nation.
If there is order in the nation,
There will be peace in the world.

Nelson Mandela on our Deepest Fears!

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 doesn’t 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 within us.

It is not just in some of us; it is in all of us, 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.
