Blessed
Yesterday was Mother’s Day and it was truly one of the most wonderful I’ve had. There was a time when I dreaded this day, a time in childless years when it tore my heart to shreds. A time, when I remember being told in words, actions, and looks many times how I was not a mother though I desperately wanted to be. Many women with similar experiences continue to struggle on this day even years after finally becoming mothers. I’m grateful to say that while I remember those I truly enjoy Mother’s Day, not just for my own mother and memory of motherly influence in my own life but because I appreciate so much more the blessing of being a mother now. And look at the loot besides!
Can’t beat that. I am so blessed and spoiled!
Now, if I can just stretch my luck and blessings long enough to get all my stuff backed up I’ll be most happy. I’ve got a bad feeling about my computer. *furrowed brow*

Cool iPod. I wish I had one of those. I know how you use to feel about Mother’s Day. I thought I would be single forever.
Thanks, nice to know others can relate sometimes too.

I’m glad you had a great mother’s day. I hope you get the computer fixed or at least all of your files backed!
I can’t wait to see what my children make me for mother’s day. At the child care center in the gym, Lanie (3yr old) traced her hand on a sheet of paper and handed it to me. So I guess that’s my first present from her on Mother’s Day!
Those little hands grow so fast!
