He Thinks I'm Beautiful

We were in the car waiting for traffic to clear. We'd been to the park and I was focused on getting us home. From the back seat in a small , sweet little voice he said "you're beautiful".

I hope he always knows how very much I love him.

(I wanted to drive him straight to Toy's R Us and buy everything.)

MUD said...: He just said what most of us have thought for years. I might be a little overboard about my nieces but I love them all. More importantly you are the kind of person that would have little guys say that and mean it without a trip to Toys-R-Us. MUD; 7:36 AM

Words To Live By

"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 is not just in some of us; it is 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
