Mom, circa 1984

I’m 30 minutes late but I wanted to give a shout out to my mom this Mother’s Day.    

This photo was taken a year and a half after I was born…she’s a hottie huh?  It took my breath away when I came across it.  She’s experieced more than most in her life so far and throughout all of the ups and downs, 6 kids, grandkids, and mountain after mountain to climb, I still see her this way and probably always will.  I’ve never known anyone who is more committed, resourceful, energetic, enthusiastic, adventurous, inquisitive, optimistic, tenacious, determinded, intuitive, and courageous.  There is nothing this woman can’t do or face and I hope that someday I can be half the woman and mother she is.  She has always been there for me and I’m a lucky lady to have her.    

Happy Mother’s Day, Mom!  I love you!

grateful. humbled.

I don't know about ya'll, but for me, I sometimes still need my mom like I did
when I was a kid.  No one else can put things into perspective or ease my stress
quite like she can.  Today she brought me a little care package, even though
the pep talk alone was enough to make everything better.  I am a lucky lady.
