Love, Fio

Congratulate Fiorella.  She's almost halfway through her novella.  Of course, that's a week behind the schedule she set, but she didn't allow for that day spent cleaning up the house for Mother's Day, the sugar high from the Mother's Day cake (YUM!) and the sugar withdrawal hangover the next day.   But novellas come and go.  Mother's Day memories are forever.

Thank you to my darlings.

Mother Love

Happy Mother's Day to me.  Becoming a mother was a long, expensive process, but I treasure the results--three wonderful children.

Thank you for coming into my life.  Thank you for accepting my love and responding with your own.  Thank you for every minute of your existence, bad as well as good, because you have survived and are the stronger for it.  Thank you for trusting me, for confiding in me, for keeping in touch with me.

Thank you for all you are and will be.  You are my legacy to the world, and I love you.

Pax Materna

Good morning and happy Mother's Day.  Fiorella's one request is that everyone be totally positive all day long, no matter what.  Yes, Fiorella likes happy, happy, joy, joy around her at all times.  Otherwise, like most mothers, she has the urge to commiserate and try to fix whatever is wrong.

Let's give Mother a vacation today.  Happy, happy, joy joy!
