something colorful
but just wanted to say that I hope you all had a grand Mothers day on the weekend.
I enjoyed a lovely family visit,
and phone calls from family too.
As another lovely blogger has already said:
I thank the lovely mothers of my grandchildren for the wonderful job they do (with their spouses) in the daily upbringing of their children.
May God bless you all this week.
And may I end with this (longish, but well worth reading) quote from the aforementioned wonderful blogger:
"The best reason to take your time is that this time is the only time
you'll ever have. You must take it, or it will be taken from you. It is
telling that the phrase "taking your time" is synonymous with slowing
down. If we want to live life fully, we do best to slow down. I don't
suggest that we turn back the clock, trying to retrieve a bygone era
when life was slower. We couldn't, even if we wanted to. But I don't
believe we should want to. We should revel in our electronically
supercharged, unbounded world. But, to make the most out of this new
world, to avoid feeling overbooked, overstretched, and about to snap, to
make modern life become better than life has ever been, a person must
learn how to do what matters first. Otherwise, you will bulldoze over
life's best moments. You won't notice the little charms that adorn each
day, nor will you ever transform the mundane into the extraordinary."
