{oh look…one of the pictures that actually saved!}
Today is Thanksgiving–but that’s not all the celebrating we’ll be doing today. Today, you see, is my mum’s birthday. And if she, alone, were my sole reason to be thankful I’d have gratitude to last a lifetime. She gave me life … she introduced me to a Heavenly Father, but never pushed him on me … she went without so my brother and I might have. She taught me the importance of doing your best–of giving your all, even if no one is watching. She instilled a love of imagination. She’s my biggest fan. She’s one of the few people I can count on to make me laugh. She’s my compass–when I fall short, it’s entirely my doing.
I’m sure I’ve said it all before {and no doubt, I’ll say it again}, but it’s true.
She’s my mother and she’s also my friend … and that is the greatest blessing of all.
So to my mom, a happy birthday; and to the rest of you, a …
happy birthday and happy holidays! i hope it's a wonderful one!
Happy birthday to your dear Mom. Here it is Thanksgiving Day and we are all piled up watching the parade. So, I have the perfect time to drop by and visit friends. I wanted to tell you that one the things I am thankful for today is blogging and the way it has made my world so much bigger. Thank you for the friendship, the wisdom, and the inspiration I have found here. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, my friend. Happy Thanksgiving!
