December 8th - Temperature

Saturday -

Mike and all the kids got up at MY usual running time and headed off to the USO 5K 

RUN FOR THE HEROS!

It was a great fund raiser for USO and the kids had a good time.

Mike won a gift certificate to a tattoo place, so stay tuned for that!  :P

(*just kidding)

And I actually slept until almost 7am, which hasn't happened in a SUPER long time.

(20 years ago, I would have never thought of 7am as sleeping in, just saying)

I went to a Women's Craft Day at our church and had a great time with the ladies.

I made 5 tile coasters for each kid with the selfish motivation that they will actually PUT

their cups on their coasters and I won't have to wash 101 plastic cups at the end of each day.

Saturday night is our normal FAMILY NIGHT time -

So we had popcorn on the couch and watched Akeela and the Bee.

Great movie!

Here is a quote from the movie that I really like.

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? 

In the movie - the quote stops here and is credited to Nelson Mandela.  

The rest of the quote is here....and was written by Marianne Williamson in a book called, "Return to Love"

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.

Chew on that for a while..... it's good.

The photo challenge today is TEMPERATURE.

So Merry Christmas from Guam!
