I'd love to have something clever or profound to say today, but I'm not nearly clever enough or profound enough to express what it feels like to be a mother. For me, being a mother has been the greatest gift of my life.
Since I find myself lost for words today, I'll share with you some of the things that I found and enjoyed that others have said about mothers - being mothers - having mothers.
And he asked her "Which of your children to you feel the closest to?"
She paused and then answered, "The one who is hurting the most."

For the morning sun
in all it's glory
Greets the day with
hope and comfort too
You fill my life
with laughter
And somehow
you make it better
Ease my troubles
that's what you do"

"Have I Told You Lately
That I Love You"
So... today Tammy had a Sprinkle for Rich and Julie's baby. It was soooo nice! Tammy did a great job, but no surprise to me. I've always been a "Tammy" fan.
The invitation said to bring diapers - not big gifts, but there were wonderful gifts for the new baby and for Kate. People are SO creative!
Crystal, particularly, adds an amazing flair to everything she does. Shower gifts are no exception - coordinating outfits for Kate and the "new baby" - clever toys - and everything is always put together beautifully. There is an artist in her soul.
Julie looked great and was the perfect.... hmmmmm... victim? What do you call someone for whom the shower was thrown? Tammy was the hostess. Can't think of what I'm trying to say. Help anyone?
Kate was there for much of the shower and was a great helper, taking the tissue paper to Tammy to throw away.
Jackie is back from Florida. She looked terrific - and seems happy to be "home" for the summer.
Amy was there for a while, but she and Greg were headed to a wedding this afternoon/evening. I would have loved to have seen them before they went. Amy always looks exceptional when they go out. Greg was out buying a suit this afternoon, so I'm sure they were quite a picture!
I can't help but think this afternoon, how very blessed I am.
Life is good!
It's Julie's birthday today!
I hope we get the chance to do something to celebrate. Julie's birthday seems to get lost because it's so close to Mother's Day. No fair!
Lots of love to you today and every day, Julie!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday dear Julieeeee!
Happy birthday to youuuuuuuuuuuu!

Hershey - It's another gift-giving time of year. You know - the ol' flowers and candy thing. When I think of candy, I think of chocolate and when I think of chocolate. I think of Hershey's and when I think of Hershey's, I think of my grandmother who LOVED Hershey kisses. I feel a story coming... so I'll leave it at that! :) Enjoy!
