This morning\u2019s walk of gratitude is a quiet one,
just me in the garden
a few birds for company
and the flowers
another overcast morning, cloud blanketed sky
today is Mother\u2019s Day
despite what you may know of me
I am not (in some aspects) overly sentimental
in fact, I bristle a bit at saccharine over-produced mush
perhaps this makes you laugh,
at the words I sometimes pour
yet one thing I do believe myself to always be
is honest,
and
sincere <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am too, always, my own
introvert kind of loving kindness
where I will step forward
but then
step
back
make my offer from here
where I am
when
I
can
I don\u2019t do obligation well <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I find myself once again reading a fantastic book\u00a0
involving an interesting mother\/daughter relationship\u00a0
reading with a certain tense-ness of\u00a0
understanding\u00a0
though this is not my story, or really anything remotely like it\u00a0
I do know\u00a0
of\u00a0\u00a0
it\u00a0
and not to worry, as I have no intentions of
dumping out the contents\u00a0\u00a0
of my bag in front of you now,
suffice it to say\u00a0\u00a0
it’s
complicated\u00a0
in many ways…
which,\u00a0\u00a0
if we’re being honest here
isn\u2019t it\u00a0\u00a0
always\u00a0
\u00a0
so,\u00a0
I walk quietly\u00a0
lost in thoughts and\u00a0\u00a0
words\u00a0
a sometime, lump in my throat\u00a0
observing\u00a0\u00a0
birds and flowers, softness and
renewal
so very\u00a0
contented in my place in the\u00a0
world\u00a0
\u00a0
and grateful still, to those who have mothered\u00a0
in ways they know how\u00a0
in ways they can\u00a0
\u00a0
and always so very, very blessed\u00a0
for the four here\u00a0
that call me Mom.\u00a0
\u00a0
Do enjoy your day.\u00a0\u00a0\u2665<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
