Saturday Six.
Six things, each Saturday, that I am glad for. It’s good to ponder on those things we’re thankful for in our lives. This Saturday I ponder “Mother’s Day“.
M is for MY Mother. Here she is with Julia this past Christmas. I love this photo!
O is for my other mother, my mother in law. She always takes time to send cards to the kids (and us!) for EVERY occasion!
T is for Teagan. Even though my kids are growing up, he’s staying ‘baby’ size, just the way I like it!
H is for Husband. I’m so thankful for mine!
E is for Elsa, Elisabeth Grace is her full name.
She is my most difficult child, and I could complain about that, but instead, I embrace it. Why? Because SHE truly defines me as a mother. If I do well with her, I can be proud of my mothering. When I fail her, I fail as a mother. She has opened my eyes to so many of my faults at times it causes me to just about crumble. When I embrace it though, it causes me to be strong. I want to be strong, SHE does that for me.
R is for reality.
No matter how much I dream, how much I desire out of this life of mine, the reality is that my life is now. Today.
Whatever today is, is whatever I make of it.
The reality is, I’m ok with that. I like my life.
No, I love my life.
For that, I am very thankful!
