Saturday Six.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Six things, each Saturday, that I am glad for. It\u2019s good to ponder on those things we\u2019re thankful for in our lives. This Saturday I ponder \u00a0“Mother’s Day<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

M<\/strong> is for MY Mother. Here she is with Julia this past Christmas. I love this photo!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

O<\/strong> is for my other mother, my mother in law. She always takes time to send cards to the kids (and us!) for EVERY\u00a0occasion!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

T<\/strong> is for Teagan. Even though my kids are growing up, he’s staying ‘baby’ size, just the way I like it!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

H <\/strong>is for Husband. I’m so thankful for mine!<\/p>\n

\"WilliKids\"<\/a><\/p>\n

E<\/strong> is for Elsa, Elisabeth Grace is her full name.
\nShe is my most difficult child, and I could complain about that, but instead, I embrace it. Why? Because SHE<\/strong> truly defines me<\/strong> as a mother<\/em>. 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<\/strong> does that for me.<\/p>\n

\"IMGP3647\"<\/a><\/p>\n

R<\/strong> is for reality.
\nNo matter how much I dream, how much I desire out of this life of mine, the reality is that my life is now. Today<\/strong><\/span>.
\nWhatever today is, is whatever I make of it.
\nThe reality is, I’m ok with that. I like my life.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

No, I love<\/strong> my life.<\/p>\n

For that, I am very thankful!<\/p>\n
