Sara Bareilles - King Of Everything

This song doesn't bring out the best in me.  I should probably never have purchased it for my iPod.  It comes around on the playlist every once in awhile; revives past hurtful experiences I would do well to forget and let go.  Difficult for me.

I've tried really hard not to be that kind of person:  the one who is always trying to improve others, discipline them, "expand their horizons", attempting to mold them into what I think is better for them.  That isn't my place.  Or anyone's place to do to other people, particularly other adults.

I suspect I might have failed in this a time or two, but I really have tried not to be that way.  I have first-hand experience with others doing that very thing to me.  Again, not their place.  Not anyone's place to judge (and find them lacking) that way.

One of my biggest fears:  disappointing Heavenly Father.  I think if I were to behave that way it would disappoint Him.  Certainly there have been (and most likely will continue to be) other ways that I disappoint. The list of ways I fail in life would be very long.  This is one thing, though, that is important to me to avoid.  Perhaps being so very aware of that kind of behavior will be a deterrent.  I will try.  Over and over.

Do birds re-use nests?

I almost felt like a VIP this morning when I crossed the street over by the school.  Happened to be just when the crosswalk was supervised for the chilluns going to school.  Got escorted across the street by not one but two adults, flags stopping traffic and all.  Was kind of fun.

Tonight's gratitude:  for deciduous trees whose winter-bare branches reveal the previous season's birdie nests.  Love this little peek into nature's realm.
