ShiningLight: One of those days I guess

BEYOND MEASURE

"OUR DEEPEST 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 IN US. IT'S NOT JUST SOME OF US. IT'S IN EVERYONE.
AND AS WE LET OUR 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 - and quoted by Nelson Mandela 1994 at his inauguration!

One of those days I guess

Today is a really weird day for me. I woke up tired and with a heavy heart. No spark in me and I feel weary. I look at the picture of that little rabbit and as this one just does not want to look what is going on ...just as that one....so it is with me today. I just want to close my eyes and sing lalalalalal and not look. I want to hide in the shadow of me Almighty daddy, wanna feel His wings surrounding me, hearing HIS voice telling me: It is ok, Kerstin. I am here with you. Something that has happened or is happening just saddens my heart. It is nothing big although for me it is but I know that my high's are higher than other people's highs and my lows are lower than other people's lows. I try not to sink into self pity and will go home now to rest and take care of myself. What a weird day...one of those days, I guess
