To The Mother In All Of Us

This day is dedicated to the mother in all of us.  It isn't a biological thing, though the advertising industry may appear to make it that way.  It is a day to remember for all that nurture in a motherly way.

On a deeper thought, maybe it isn't a gender thing, either.  A child doesn't care who nurtures them, nor does anyone in distress.  We care that others take us in their arms and hold us tight.  We feel their warmth and their humanity.  They remind us to smile, to be easy on ourselves. To be present. 

I love Mother's Day.  I love being a mother.  On this day, I give gratitude for the honoring of being my children's mother.   For the honor of loving my friends and family.  Without one another, there could be no mothering. 

Happy Mother's Day to us all.
