Mother's Day

It was a very nice Mother's Day weekend. Denver and Danielle came home on Saturday. We had lunch together and they gave me a wonderful gift from them and Randi and Travis and the kids. The weather was crappy so we couldn't be outside oranything, but it was wonderful to have them home. Then on Sunday we had pot luck at my mom's for lunch. It was nice to get together with mom and Chuck and Laurie. After that we headed to Millie's for awhile. That was nice as well. We got to visit with Gene & Karen and Norm & Brenda while we were there. When we got home from there, I did a few things around the house and then just vegged in my chair the rest of the night. While I was cocooned in my chair I did a lot of thinking. I thought about all of the people and things I have in my life and how lucky I am. I have a very small house, but I love it. I love the cocoon feeling that my house gives me. I have kids who have turned out so well and are so thoughtful. I have a husband who loves and respects me - even if he is crabby sometimes. I have family (both mine and Leon's) whom I love to be around. They all make me feel loved and needed. After thinking about all of this I was suddenly hit with an overwhelming feeling of contentment and blessing. I hope all Mom's have a chance to experience that feeling of love.
