Mother's Day

Today I am reminded of who I am and how I got here!  I am the person I am today because I was blessed with the gift of life!  Giving birth redefined me as a person.  I was one person until the moment I gave birth 29 years ago!  It was in that very moment that all of life and the mysteries surrounding it were clarified for me.  I knew it was going to be a journey that I did not want to miss.  All things had new meaning.  My belief structure in so many things began to change the moment God gave me the responsibility of another person.  Then I was blessed once again shortly thereafter; and while that was all I could have they became my greatest treasures and will always be.  My Children Brought out the best in me and helped me learn to deal with the worst in me.  They helped me see the world in all it's brightness and glorious colors; to appreciate each day that I draw a breath.   My children keep me grounded and humble as I pray each day and night for their safety and their health.  I realized that Happiness is a word that turns to Joy; such a small word yet so much more than happiness; each time I hear their voice or see their face.  I realized that there is not a richer person on this earth than I for the gifts I have been given by my two children each time they say I love you!  I am a far greater person than I could ever have imagined and have achieved far greater things in my life than I originally planned; just for becoming a Mother!  I would not trade this role in my life for ALL the money in the World.  So today I say thank you to my children for the journey thus far; it has been epic and I look forward to the rest of the story!
Live with Love and Laugh Often
