Mother's Day thoughts

Although the weather belied the moment, yesterday was Mother's Day, and for those of us who celebrate the women who have birthed us and our descendants it was a beautiful day.  The Divine Mrs. M was in fine form and our beautiful daughters and their children made it a day to remember.  Amid the daily horrors of the political situation in this country it is sometimes easy to lose sight of what makes the daily grind worthwhile.   Celebrating motherhood may have become a Hallmark moment and the commercialization of the holiday is indeed deplorable, but the sentiment needs to be expressed.   Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers and daughters in my life.  I will try to celebrate you each day in the coming year!
