I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day yesterday!
I have to admit that mine was bittersweet. Mother's Day 2011 was the last time I saw my Mom before she passed away in January. And I'm thrilled that I had the chance to share that weekend with her last year. We went shopping together and I took her to lunch while my Dad, my hubby and my boys went to watch my youngest son play in a basketball tournament. It was one of the nicest weekends I'd spent with my mom in years.
Yesterday was a day spent in introspect. Our minister subtly challenged us Moms to be godly women who set good examples for our children. I spent the day the day thinking about what I am doing and what I am not doing to set a good example for my boys, and asking myself if I'm being the kind of mom I want my boys to have. All of these thoughts are going on in my mind while I'm missing my own Mom. Needless to say it was an emotional day and I was thrilled when it was time to go to bed and let the day end!
So, today is a new day and I'm ready to be back after a much needed break from blogging (where I took a break from many organized and not so organized activities, and took a fabulous trip to Italy).
I have a fresh perspective on things and am happy to be back to my neglected Steady Plodding site!
