Of course I didn’t forget. This is just a little late but I am extending my greetings to all the blogger moms here at WordPress. HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO US!
I’ve blogged about Mother’s Day celebrations since 2010 I think documenting those moments of bliss, lovely sharing with the family and choosing where to spend the day – those special moments that make me smile just remembering. I still could remember the places where we spent lunch and how much we enjoyed bonding together as a family. Early this morning Josef and I heard mass together. He came straight from a night shift so I suggested that we just go home so he could rest. Besides, the place where we want to have dinner is fully booked until next week.
All moms who attended the 9am mass received a special prayer/blessing from the presiding priest. There was a time when they gave a white rose each to the moms after the blessing. It might be just an ordinary day to some people but I must admit that moms are special so celebrating that one important day in their lives is kind of special too. Having a great mom is one of the many gifts and blessings a child could ever have. I have one and I am blessed.
“A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.”
That’s a lovely quote from Washington Irving. I had a good laugh hearing Nate greet me earlier. Nissa taught him to say “Happy Mother’s Day Nonna” but the one clear word I heard was Nonna. Listening to him say “love you” made my day.
Happy Mothers’ Day to you Arlene, and to all mothers out there. We have already had ours of course, in March. Time to reflect on Mothers lost as well.
Best wishes from England. Pete.

Thanks Arlene. I am getting used to this new level of functioning. I am trying hard to get back to it. I have been working on my book and have had a hundred ideas for short writings but I did not start them. I will get back to a better, wiser, stronger me, eventually. Thank you so much for your positive thoughts and prayers. God bless you richly!

Tahimik. I told Nissa it was the first time we didn’t go out on the day itself. Josef has work on weekends, How was yours? I am sure you enjoyed it with the family.
