Mother's Day

Today was a much better day than yesterday. Most of that is due to me deciding to have a better attitude.

I wanted to appreciate my life. I am so appreciative of my children. At one time in my life I actually thought I'd never get to experience motherhood and yet, here I am with two beautiful blessings.

I didn't get a card; I wasn't given any presents, but I got to spend another beautiful day with the two most precious gifts I've ever been given.

The day did start out rough - I'll be honest.

I was still feeling low about myself and in addition, I was upset about an unresolved conversation Aaron and I had about my feelings last night.

And then he left to work without wishing me a happy Mother's Day. That was just like fuel to the fire until I decided to change my attitude.

I looked in the rear view and saw my sons smiling face. Macario is definitely the sweetest boy I know.

He's the best hand-holder EVER! That makes this overly-affectionate mother soooo happy.

He kept asking, "mama, hold hands?" and reaching his hand out for mine.

He was an angel in church and a trooper as we waited in line at the store.

I'm so blessed in my life with a son as wonderful as he!

Then there is Adrian. Yesterday, I was frustrated that he wouldn't let me put him down long enough to get anything done. Today, however, I realized that one day he'll be off on his own, not wanting to be held and I'll be sad. So today I held him as much as possible.

I was the mother I always want to be today. Loving, attentive, affectionate, stern when needed, and kind.

I gave them everything I had today and I felt so good about it.

Most days I try to give my all, but life does interfere. Today I put it all aside and I plan to do that as much as possible every day from here on out!

Today was a great Mother's Day!

And thank you to you three wonderful women for helping uplift me today. I love and appreciate you too!
