A Picture Post ~ Memories from Mother's Day Weekend 2011

Sorry, no cupcakes today...I have something much, much sweeter..........memories.

"Your sacred space is where you can find yourself over and over again." 

~ Joseph Campbell

"To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give one's self..to have played and laughed with enthusiasm, and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived...This is to have succeeded." 

~ Emerson

We can do no great things,

only small things with great love. 

~Mother Teresa

The true meaning of life is to plant trees,

under whose shade you do not expect to sit. 

~Nelson Henderson

We make a living by what we get,

but we make a life by what we give. 

~Winston Churchill

And she was fair as is the rose in May. 

 ~ Chaucer

Always be a first-rate version of yourself,

instead of a second-rate version of somebody else. 

~Judy Garland

"The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are." 

~ Joseph Campbell

Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns.

I am thankful that thorns have roses.  

 ~ Kerr

SUNNY DAYS

Only count your sunny days

For they are the ones that matter

They are the ones that bring you joy

Upon your happiness platter

Fill your plate with all the smiles you can muster up

And when its full your smiles will flow into a matching cup

Take these days and store them away

for they will keep awhile

And when you're down and need a lift

You take them out and smile

I love you so much Mom.
