I Shoulda Stayed In Bed

Yesterday.

Yesterday just sucked.

I woke up with a crick in my neck that progressed into an ugly headache.

I did get a nice massage but I didn't get to go home and nap afterwards.

It was so windy that I spent all of rowing practice trying to keep kids from getting into trouble.

And in the middle of practice I got a call that my dad is back in the hospital. Afib and some small clots...stable now but in the hospital for several days.

Went to bowling where I bowled....SOOOOOO bad. But the beer was cold.

Then when I got home I found an email from an old rowing friend that another old rowing friend in in her last days of a cancer fight. She's in her 30's.

Some days really suck.

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
