You’ll get breakfast in bed. A flower on your tray. Dinner out. A card, a call. Maybe one less upset. If not, an apology. And if you’re truly blessed, you’ll get some time to yourself, when you can consider everything you won’t get, and what no one else can give you for Mother’s Day:
What You Already Have
A quick burst of introspection and inspiration in this new interview on Painted Path
What You Already Know
A free download of the mini-book 23 Things You Might Not Know About You (but to be perfectly honest, you already do) courtesy of Zen at Play
Where You Already Are
Basic instructions in how to stay from Walking on My Hands.
Happy Mother’s Day. I know. I understand. Me too.
This year I know I won’t get a present or breakfast in bed for sure. Not even a surprise, drawing or other handmade ‘artifact’. Nothing.
Yet I have everything.

“(but to be perfectly honest, you already do)”
🙂 I did consider calling it: 23 Things You Probably Already Know About You, But Might Have Temporarily Forgotten.
But that’s quite long.
Thank you so much for contributing your wisdom and sharing it with your good people. Encouragement matters. Kindness matters. And it’s been such a joy to send a big bundle of love out into the world.
