Took a day trip to visit my mother to celebrate Mother's Day. Picked her up and drove to the state capitol in Springfield to a little sandwich shop located in an old Victorian style home. Afterwards went to the mall for a little shopping then dropped her back in her town and headed back home. From the time we left to the time we got back home 12 hours on the dot. Long day, yes. Worth it? You bet.
There are times it is easy to convince ourselves we don't need to celebrate every event. Yes, it's a "Hallmark" holiday, but it's these moments we look back on with fondness. It is important to take time to celebrate these moments. While we may clear our house of clutter, we need to continue making memories. Otherwise, we won't have anything worth remembering years from now.
The picture is a wind farm my husband and I passed on the way home. What is so great about this picture? It's representative of both the old and the new. It is not good to stay cemented in our past. It is not wise to always look for newer and better things. It is when these two entities balance we can truly thrive.
Whether you are a mom, have a mom, know a mom - here's hoping you find that balance in your life. Happy Mother's Day!
