A Few Pictures To Tide You Over

Not sure why I'm so behind but...I just am. Here's my boy and I taking a spin in the canoe in Arkansas last weekend...good fun!
The boy again with the King (aka...Papa Alan)
The boy and I did a little camping this weekend in Papa Alan's backyard...there was some swinging. (that's pizza on his face)
There was some more swinging with cousin Spencer. Uncle Jeff did the pushing.
You can't camp without a bonfire.

There was also a katy trail trip with Donna...you can read about that on the Ronneblog...the link is on the side.

I've also added to my 100.

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
