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!

[...] It started with my iPod for Mother’s Day. That was a fun surprise and for the first time in my life I found myself buying music! You have to know my history to understand why this is a big deal. Suffice it to say, while my dad has always been a music collector (his record collection to this day could supply its own vintage store) and my friends all had wonderful personal collections, I had none growing up nor did I have the resources to start my own. My music control was limited to the FM radio and local stations. It’s like I’m making up for lost time these many years later. I now have my own collection, multiple ways to enjoy it and far too much enticement and ease adding to it. Suffice it to say the new Genius playlist function of iTunes is brilliant and dangerous!
