Blessed, this Mother’s Day

**Mother’s Day has been great, and I feel so blessed because:

My mother surprised me with these unique blue orchids!  She just does such thoughtful things like that!  She knows me, and how I love these alien-looking beauties,  that seem to whisper, “I’m beautiful, but I will eat you alive if you come too close.”  I like that in a flower… 🙂

Although my mom worked today, we were able to take her to breakfast, and it was very enjoyable, before going our separate ways….

While at breakfast, my son agreed to a picture, and he gave a genuine smile for the camera!  This means a lot to me, as he just glared at the camera when we were out for his birthday.  He really doesn’t like someone making a fuss over him in public.  So, of course, there was no singing to him in the restaurant.  To each his own.

My son went to church with me, and he hasn’t done that in a little while…

He drove me to church, in his car, that he recently bought used, which means he is working, which has been a long time coming.

At home, I got some writing done, while my son went to get a haircut.  When he got back, it was pretty quiet around here, like usual.  You see, that’s how he is.  And I have learned to stop fighting against who he chooses or who he prefers to be.

During the quiet times, while I am writing on this keyboard, or laying back, reading my Kindle, my dog is curled up next to me, loyal, faithful, always ready if I put my shoes on for a walk.

You see,  I truly am so blessed!

“By Your Side, Unconditional Friend for Life” by Pamela Schloesser Canepa

I’m your friend for life,

There’s nothing you have to do

except just go on, being you.

What are you doing?  I want to see…

What could keep you so enraptured,

other than me?

 

So you’re down, and just

don’t want to play….

I’ll snuggle with you, even if all day.

 

You’re going somewhere?

I see you grab your shoes!

You know I’m willing to go, too!

 

Now you’re writing,

you look at me and smile.

Just turn to pet me once in a while.

I know you’re on to something good,

you must be having fun.

Remember, I am right here when you’re done.
