Mother's Day

Things I learned from my Mom

Believe, courage, love, dream, strength

Where do I start?

It’s like a book that’s written on my heart

And wherever I go in life

It guides me in ways I bet she doesn’t even realize.

First of all….I learned that sometimes a hug can say more than words

And that I could trust myself as I began to make my way in the world

Because I was standing on the solid foundation she gave me.

Grandma - she has given us all a sure foundation!

Nothing beats the love of a mother

I learned that strength comes from standing up and doing what’s right

Even if sometimes you stand alone.

That excuses don’t work (no matter how many good ones I came up with!!).

Moms love you just because

I learned that success comes from trying, failing, and trying again,

Not from everything being perfect all the time.

That kindness counts more than getting ahead.

That times may change, but the important things don’t.

I learned that no matter where I am, there is someone who cares and believes in me

And I learned that there are really angels on earth…..because my mom is one of them.

(These were the words on a card I gave my sweet mom on Mother's Day)

It was such a wonderful Sunday for me as my sweet daughters made me a gourmet lunch after church meetings.  We relaxed and then headed over to Grammy and Grampy's for another celebration of wonderful mom's. 

I am so blessed to have strong and faithful women in my family. I love my mom dearly. I love my mom-in-Pima- just as much. And I have sisters and sister-in-laws who are examples to me in so many different ways. These are good women and I truly am grateful for their influence in my life!!
