Did all the Mother's out there get the love and pampering they deserve? I certainly hope so. As all us mothers know, motherhood is the most underpaid job (monetarily) in the USA. We reap our rewards in different ways. Kissing sweaty forheads and brushing away hair from their brow while they are sleeping, grasping their hand to cross the street safely, hugging them tightly in the morning when they wake up, wishing them a good day when they head off to school. While many would interpret these actions as us giving to our children, it is us mothers who reap the true reward from these actions. The love in our hearts fills us up and keeps us motivated for all the days to come of constant reminding to put their backpack away or to make their bed. Many trial and tribulations face us as our children grow including our ever-present companion, guilt, but of course, it is all worth it. So on Mother's day, I hope you had the opportunity to bask in the love of your children and they were reminded to be extra kind to you. You deserve it, I know I do.
I was blessed enough to receive tulips and cards from all my children. My favorite part is their attempts at secrecy to surprise me. That's how I know they love me and all the little things they give. Thank you to all of you; you are all so dear to my heart and I don't know what I would do without you! xoxo ~ Thosha
Some family trees have beautiful leaves, and some have just a bunch of nuts. Remember, it is the nuts that make the tree worth shaking
