A Wonderful Mother's Day

I am concluding one of the most wonderful days - Ever! This morning my door bell rang repeatedly and when I opened the door, no one was there - only some presents spread out in front of the door along with a large Starbucks Americano! Pictured me thrilled as Rollin, then Tucker and finally Fynneus and Liz came running in to hug me! Thadeus joined us later for a picnic on the patio, and I am reveling in this wonderful day that celebrates so many beautiful women.

I look at Liz and I see so much a beautiful mom. I talk with Jenn, and I feel her beauty even across the miles. I talk with my own Mom and with my Mother-in-law and I know that I am blessed for these beautiful women in my life.

And as though that is not blessing enough, I have wonderful men in my life too. Starting with Jim who loves and honors my "motherlyness". For Thadeus, who brought me flowers and a card for mothers day long before I knew he would be my family - and hugged me tightly when Liz could not be there. For Tucker, Rollin and Fynneus who light up my life as a grandmother in ways that I never dreamed possible. And for my Dad, who called and honored me with Happy Mother's Day wishes.

I am blessed with a wonderful life and an opportunity to to express it on this Wonderful Mother's Day!

Here's to the Ride!
