Michael, “Did you call your Mother Today?” is priceless to me. Thank you for that beautiful gift.
dansko shoes
Alicia and I went shopping at Triangle Center in Raleigh. I bought a pair of Dansko shoes because for two years she wouldn’t stop talking about how comfortable they are. Alicia was right; they’re comfortable, and good looking, too. That’s always a bonus with comfortable shoes. When buying a pair of Dansko you need to know that they’re hand-made. Therefore, every pair fits differently. You won’t want to rush this purchase. If the first pair you try is not extraordinarily comfortable, try another. If the second pair you try is not extraordinarily comfortable, try another. That’s the way it has to be until the salesperson brings out a pair that, when you try them on, the first words that come to mind are, “Yes, these are them.”

here and there
Lately I find myself here and there. It’s wonderful; the older I get the less I stay put. It’s a big world. We say it’s getting smaller and smaller, but that’s when we’re trying to make a point in a discussion. The reality is that there is so much to see, so many adventures to have, people to meet, things to learn. Ah, yes, when I look at a map I can visualize myself here and there. Notice how that can mean anything. Sitting and anchored in silence at here and there is wonderful too. You just need a different kind of map for the silent adventures. Either way I can be on board in a jiffy. You also?
Did you call your Mother Today?
This week I got to do one of my favorite things. Spend time with my Mom.
There is something amazing about a Mother Son relationship and I see time and time again, fools taking this gift for granted.
We didn’t get to do all the things we planned. Scrabble will have to be saved for the next visit…But the conversation was amazing as always and we ate some delicious healthy home made food. Oh, all right there was a piece of Linda’s Chocolate Fudge Cake that found its way to the table, but come on, you need balance in life! There may have been one other food indiscretion but I’m not 100% sure!
The most exciting thing for me on this visit from Mom was the time that she spent with Sebastian, my 8 month old son. It fills me up inside seeing Sebastian and his ‘Grand Ma’ together. I am so glad that he will know this wonderful woman and grow to see why she is so loved by those around her. I am especially glad that he will know where the compassion, kindness and zest for life inside of him comes from….. his grandma.
