Happy Mother's Day


I hope you are all eating strawberries smothered in Nutella. I hope you are all taking a lovely nap in clean sheets. I hope you have told your mom how grateful you are that she gave you life. I hope that you are healing from the sadness. I hope you look at your children and tell them what a blessing they are in your life. I hope you forgive God for the loss of or inability to have children. I hope you don't blame your husband for not making today perfect. I hope you are smiling. I hope you appreciate the paper flower and bottle of lotion. I hope you do something special for yourself if no one else does. I hope you reach out to the women around you today, because Motherhood is about being a woman, with all its joys and hardships, and we need each other.

Happy Mother's Day, ladies. I think you are all fabulous!

    Thank you! That was just perfect. And I'm working on some of those things.

    Thanks for the post. You don't even know how much I needed to read this, and the other post, too. I hope I can have this outlook next year. I don't want to be disappointed. And sadly, I always find a way to make myself feel guilty for being disappointed. Thanks for the perspective!
