Day 141: Mothers

Day 141 was Mother's Day and... I am thankful for mothers  - and people who take on the role of mothering.

For this mother's day I was fortunate enough to have my mother in town!  We went to brunch (one of my favorite things), we went shopping (which I don't love, but we held puppies and that was pretty fun), we went to Cirque du Soleil, ate greek food and had a pretty great day together.

My mom has always been supportive and unconditional in her love for me and anybody who takes on these caring roles is to be admired. I know that I can be a brat and I can say terrible things and be ungrateful in moments, yet unconditionally she loves me.  She welcomes my friends into her home, she ask questions about the well-being of others, and very rarely is she selfish in her actions.  She is kind of goofy at times and loves to laugh - as does my whole family.

So... for having my mother in town; for those who show motherly love to children; for Mother's Day ...Joy.
