Hello Everyone -
Thinking of you, and hoping you are finding peace and well-being during these Days of Beautiful Weather and Sunshine - even if we are experiencing them mostly through the Window!
It’s also Mothers’ Day! A unique one! No restaurants, flowers, perfume or chocolates - although we can still make our own cards, make paintings of flowers and can still write poems and sing out our love for Mom! (Breakfast in Bed is still an option!!)
Mothers’ Day has even wider implications - it’s a wonderful occasion to acknowledge that loving, care-giving and nurturing spirit in us all!
Thoughtfulness for the lives of others and our wish to be of help is so evident at this time. There is a general attitude we seem to hold, recognizing that everyone is struggling in some very personal and unique way.
There is a greater willingness to be kind and to feel concern, with a sense that each one of us matters.
We know that we are all sharing something vitally important and we want to do the best we can, even though we aren’t sure exactly how things will turn out.
Our hearts are expanded - with greater warmth and openness.
The Spirit of the Caring Mother is touched in us all.
To honour all those who have mothered us, and those whom we have mothered, here is a lovely little poem, for a Mothers’ Day every one of us can celebrate!
When you thought I wasn’t looking,
I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator,
and I wanted to paint another one.
When you thought I wasn’t looking,
I saw you feed a stray cat,
and I thought it was good to be kind to animals.
When you thought I wasn’t looking,
I saw you make my favorite cake,
and I knew that little things were special things.
When you thought I wasn’t looking,
I felt you kiss me goodnight,
and I felt loved.
When you thought I wasn’t looking,
I saw tears come from your eyes,
and I learned that some things hurt
and it’s alright to cry.
When you thought I wasn’t looking,
I saw that you cared,
and I wanted to be everything that I could be.
When you thought I wasn’t looking,
I looked.
and I wanted to say thanks,
for all the things I saw
when you thought I wasn’t looking.
Have a Lovely Mothers’ Day!
Be Happy and Well.
Lynda
