New month, new blog background. At least, I think that's how this will work. We'll see; I'm notoriously flaky at this sort of thing.
Just another day here in DoRe'ville...
The sky was a brilliant blue when I took the girls to school this morning; the kind of blue that makes Pacific Northwesterners feel a little feistier than usual. I rushed home to finish my chores (!), and by the time I headed back out to the gym, the blue had surrendered to a nice little cloud cover--oh, well. It was exhilarating while it lasted. :)
In other mundane news, I finally got around to loading the Photoshop I got for Christmas; moved all our photos over--I think it said there were 15,000+ of them? I can't wait to go through and start organizing them, like I've always said I wanted to. No, really. I'm totally excited about it. Okay, no, I'm not. BUT. I did find some oldies but goodies, and then I saw this vid I uploaded to Youtube a while ago, but didn't share, I think?
I just hope she doesn't do the same thing during the Kohala concert. (That's next week Saturday, by the way; got your tickets yet? :D) Dad arrives in Washington tomorrow night, and--wait, scratch that. Charles Recaido arrives in Washington tomorrow night, and then I expect the guy we know as "Dad/Papa" will be showing up in a couple of weeks, after the tour is over. :) This is serious business, and will require absolute one-track-mindedness focus; you don't become an award-winning guitarist any other way, I suppose. :) We just stay out of his way. :-D Love you, Dad.
Well, all for now; it feels like bedtime.
Happy Wednesday!

Malia, Malia, Malia...I miss you! That video was SO adorable. DoRe', good job making me miss your babies! Haha. Just kidding (kind of). Can't wait to see y'all again!
Looking for something? You may find it here. (Then again, you may not.)
Thought for Today
“Your children are not your children. They are sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you. And though they are with you yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts, For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday. You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. The archer sees the make upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far. Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness. For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He also loves the bow that is stable.”
"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 doesn't serve the world. There's 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're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
Marianne Williamson, "A Return to Love"
Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant with the weak and the wrong. Sometime in life you will have been all of these.

I love the video. So adorable! I'd buy tickets to the concert if I was up there but unfortunately I'm too far away.
Cheers!
