A Mother's Day Wish

I would like to take a moment to wish everyone a Happy Mother's Day. To all the birth mothers, adoptive mothers, second mothers, step mothers, surrogate mothers, mothers-to-be, mothers who never got to be mothers, and even the Fathers out there who have to play both roles I wish you all a safe and happy Mother's Day. Sometimes it's hard to find the time to enjoy the ride or to even catch a breath because time slips away far too quickly. Hopefully today you'll be able to at least slow the pace and take the time to enjoy the reasons why most of us put up with so much crap both literally and not....or at least lock yourself in your secret hideout for a little peace and quiet while you snack on your favorite sweets and enjoy a little calm.

*The Peruvian Lilies in this post are from Nathaniel and Geof and came a few days early as a surprise Mother's Day gift...they're really a lot more beautiful in person.
