What helps me is adjusting my attitude and having fun anyway...
I could be bummed out and spend my day miserable and in fear, sad that my son is missing and I don't even know where he is this special day...as in so many other special days. I could mope around and cry "poor me"...
OR
I could take this beautiful day the Lord has given and celebrate ME and all the wonderful things in my life today. I could spend this day in gratitude for the wonderful wise woman with a heart of gold who raised 3 kids alone in a home filled with love for each other...the woman who was my mother and who I miss every day.
And I could share my wonderful day with all the mama's at SR, no matter how or where our kids are, no matter how or if our husbands care to celebrate our special day too (I'm grateful that my husband does)...and we could all celebrate that good days and bad, through hell and back again, we walk together on this path sharing our light with each other.
I think I'll choose to celebrate, and you're welcome to join me lilbit...we really do have a choice here.
