living life

I want to wish my readers a happy mother's day. I think being a mother is one the biggest priviledges given to us by our Lord. Since many of you know I am a mother of 4 wonderful children/adults now, 2 with fabulous spouses, 1 fabulous future son-n-law and to one of my children who has yet to meet her fabulus mate, I am such a blessed woman. I would like to say that I was that hallmark card mom which made their lives special, wonderful and just great memories, but that would not be totally true. I believe I have touched their lives in ways that have made a difference but I also know that their were many times I would love to just do it over in a much better way. I could have been more patient, understanding, kind and for heaven sake in the midst of all the hustle definately more compassionate. However, being a Mom is all about the juggling act and keeping all the plates moving at a workable pace. Be it a working outside the home or a stay at home mom, the common bond is keeping all the plates juggling. One would think as your children grow, spread their wings and fly there may be less plates to juggle but my experience on this another unfamiliar path is that there are new plates to juggle.
I just want to say don't stop juggling, keep pressing on especially when all the plates to seem to fall at once, pick them up and just start juggling again.

I commend all you Mom's out there, future mom's and to those who are " mom" to their pet children. I hope you can put your feet up, plates down and savour every mother's day moment.
Thank you to my family for all the love, patience, mercy and grace given to me in my many weaknesses as well as my strenghts.
