Broken Squeak Toy Laugh
I laugh every day. I think too much and internalize it far too often. This is the release.Archive for April 11, 2009

Today my heart was very much softened. For so long I’ve been mulling around this ridiculous inclination I have for self-loathing. Last night I was listening to Max Lucado (a podcast nerd?!) and I heard a quote that made me sob, “If you think too little of yourself, you’re thinking too much of yourself.” And I guess that’s been me for so long. But, I don’t want to be like that forever, you know. Today a little kid just brimming with contagious joy told me that I was beautiful. He kept saying, “You’re beautiful!” and “Thank you! You’re beautiful!” And I guess for so long I’ve been wanting to hear things of that sort.
Truth is, God’s always been willing to say that sort of thing to me. But, I had to stop and hear a little boy tell me that. My nieces are here for a short visit and it is wonderful because they are wonderful.
