(no title)

We were sitting on the floor, E and I, playing with her BRIO train. I laid down on the floor next to her and she got up, went and got a blanket, tucked me in (well, covered half my back) and told me to go to sleep. And to be honest I think I dozed off a little.

And here is just a little something that caught my attention today...

"For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart."

Jesus (Matthew 12:34b)

Here's another one...

"You can kiss your family and friends good-bye and put miles between you, but at the same time you carry them with you in your heart, your mind, your stomach, because you do not just live in a world but a world lives in you."

-Frederick Buechner

quote

"You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance."

-Franklin P. Jones

Be yourself!

Today you are You,
that is truer than true.
There is no one alive
who is Youer than You.

-Dr. Seuss

I just read this and it made me think of a time a few years ago, when we sat in my friends' parents' kitchen, me and some of my dear old friends. I guess we had nothing to do and someone came up with the idea that we should describe each other with one word each. A lot has happened in my life since then. I got married, moved away from home and those dear old friends to another country, made new friends, had a kid... I wonder what words people would use to describe me today. Would any of the old words come up or will they all be new. I think that some of them still fit, they are still me, but maybe no one sees them anymore. Am I showing people who I really am, or am I trying too hard to adjust to the role I assume other people think I should play? Am I making any sense?

Ok, I got a bit deep there. Who would have known that Dr Seuss would trigger all that. =)
