MOTHER'S DAY

These words were copied (and changed a bit) from ?somebody?

and I wish I would have written down who penned

such beautiful words, but I did not.

Tomorrow is Mother's Day.

It's a very tender and loaded subject for many.

I know lots of women who already have a stomach ache

thinking about it - for lots of reason.

They're not alone.

I have a stomach ache, too.

My stomach aches because I miss my mother.
Plain and simple.
There's nobody in the world like her.
My first friend.
My best friend.

Being a daughter brings all sorts of complicated feelings.

Especially tomorrow!

Everybody alive made somebody a mom at some time.

And then it got complicated.

After the birth happened,

it could have gotten more and more beautiful

(fortunately, my mother made my life beautiful)
or it could have gotten more and more crazy.

Even tragic.

This human gig is such messy stuff sometimes.

What we do know is that every single person

made someone a mom.

We are all connected to a woman

that carried us in her womb and gave us life.

That in itself was a miracle!!!

I am so glad that I was born.

I am so glad my two children were born.

I'm so grateful to my mother

for the nine months that she carried me

so that I could have this beautiful life.

I also want to tell you that if this is a tough time for you,

you are not alone.
If you've lost your sweet mamma,
I feel your ache and lonliness - it's real!

Whether it's because thoughts of your mother bring pain

or thoughts of motherhood bring you pain.

And whether that pain comes from grieving something beautiful

or trying to recover from something traumatic.

Or regrets about the time that has passed by.

Motherhood and making someone a mother

are complicated issues that require all levels of human strength, learning, grace and boundaries.

That being said ...

Happy Mother's Day, beautiful human.

AS MOTHER'S DAY APPROACHES ...

Lyrics from Il Divo - Mama
(search YouTube for the beautiful video)

Mama thank you for who I am
Thank you for all the things I'm not
Forgive me for the words unsaid
For the times I forgot
Mama remember all my life
you showed me love, you sacrificed
Think of those young and early days
How I've changed
along the way
And I know you believed
And I know you had dreams
And I'm sorry it took all this time to see
that I am where I am because of your truth
And I miss you, I miss you
Mama forgive the times you cried
Forgive me for not making right
All of the storms I may have caused
And I've been wrong
Dry your eyes
Mama I hope this makes you smile
I hope you're happy with my life
At peace with every choice I made
How I've changed
Along the way
And I know you believed in all of my dreams
And I owe it all to you mama

This day is Mother's Day

This day.

As much as I dislike this day,

I do enjoy creating cards to honor others' loved ones.

This day.

It is one of my most favorite/most non-favorite day

to create cards.

This day.

It's my favorite because it's the time to pull out the flowers,

the glitter, the ribbons, the lace

and of course, the images.
All of these elements make for the best cards.

This day.

Allows me to use all flowers

that scream "Springtime."

This day.

These flowers - lilacs.
Reminds me of my childhood

when I picked these beautiful flowers.

Not only for my mother

but for my grandmother and my teachers.

Lilacs are one of my favorite Springtime flowers.
Their scent is so recognizable.
A bouquet in just one room allows the scent in every room.

Lilacs can be combined with greenery
and other flowers, too.
The vessels are sometimes the best part.
I love the "unexpected" vases.

Lilacs are great as a stand-alone
in a bouquet or in a vase or even a jar.

This day.

We cannot forget about the sweet smelling peonies.

What better way to celebrate

Mother's Day

than with some daffodils?

Or how about some pansies?

(Those were my mother's favorite!)

Tulips say "Springtime" as well.

I'd love to have a bucket of these on a chippy chair,

wouldn't you?

How many of you

wandered around in a field of wildflowers

and brought home a bouquet just like this

for your sweet mamma?

Roses.

Nothing says "love" like roses.

I was very fortunate to have a bouquet

delivered the other day and they are beautiful.
Thank you to my daughter.
I cannot wait to dry them to display in the living room.
The soft and smoky lavender color will be perfect.
I think I'll put them in a lavender vase
from Mother's Day years ago.
