Gentle Readers,
Happy Mother's Day to all. That's right...everybody, even the boys. Today, rather than using a constricted definition of mother, I'd like to celebrate the maternal spirit. There are some women devoid of maternal instinct and some men who have it in spades. Maternal instinct is that which makes us want to care for and protect other living things and nurture other's spirits. That instinct isn't reserved for just those of us with children nor those of us who have given birth.
Whether you're caring for a dog, cat, goldfish, rabbit, tadpole or child, whether you're protecting family, a friend, a co-worker or complete strangers, whether you're nurturing the spirit of a son, daughter, grandchild, niece, nephew, friend, godchild, or a stranger...spare a thought for yourself today.
For those of you who make mothering a part of your life whether you gave birth or not, I salute you and I thank you.
So, from the bottom of my heart to those who care for, protect and nurture...
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!
Not so random musing item: A special wish goes out to BB for changing my life forever and for better in the most amazing way. Happy Mother's Day! No matter what else happens, we done one thing good.
