Rainey Days and Wednesdays

It has rained here so much the last week that everything is damp and chilly. We are currently experiencing a thunderstorm and are to have another one, even worse, come through this afternoon as I leave for work. It would be wonderful if I had a garden in the ground - yeh, right, like I've got time to tend a garden. The rain matches my mood today. This Sunday is Mother's Day as you all know and this will be a slightly depressing day for me. In my 55 1/2 years of life, I have missed 2 Mother's Days with my Mom (both of which she spent in California with Greg and family). This year she is where we all want to be but that doesn't stop my missing her and wishing with all my heart I could spend just one more Mother's Day with her.

For all of you who still have your mothers, please take out special time for them. Not just this weekend, but often throughout every week, month and year. There is always the regret that you wish you had spent more time with them, taken them somewhere they really wanted to go, do something they really wanted to do, but you were too busy or just couldn't get by to see them. I spent a lot of time with my mom and still it wasn't enough, hope you don't put off spending time with yours.

Wishing all of you mothers out there the very best of Mother's Days. I have two very special daughters and two of the most wonderful grandaughters who will make mine very special.
