oh mothers, without you where would i be?
mother of pain, mother of guilt, mother of new found strength, courage and hope. mother of extremes, mother of intense emotions, mother of acceptence, patience and "get over yourself" outlook. mother of grace, mother of "get your fingernails dirty" grit and determination. mother of creation, mother of creativity, mother of nurturing and fostering and humble pride.
to the many mothers of me, a very happy mother's day, indeed.
