Happy Mother’s Day to all those who want it! (Don’t want to get people mad at me.)
In honor of Mother’s Day here at my house, I am not writing a big, new sentimental post. Instead, I am going to focus on family and especially my wonderful EC. (Including cooking, wrapping, baking, back-scratching, gazing lovingly into her eyes, etc.)
So today’s post consists of my best wishes to all you moms out there. I hope you enjoy the day, and the recognition for all you do. If you don’t, then I got nothing but sadness for you.
Since there are a couple of you who will be irritated at me for not posting, I have put some links to previous Mother’s Day material. Enjoy.

I used to struggle with Mother’s Day–I felt guilty and inadequate. Finally I realized I had eight adult children who are loving and kind people. I figured I must have done something right! Then I went to church yesterday and they used my mother’s favorite sacrament hymn. (She has been gone for about 10 years.) Between watching the little children sing and wishing I was young again and the Sacrament song, Mother’s Day was STILL hard for me!
Perhaps a better way for women who struggle with Mother’s Day to cope is to realize that it shouldn’t be about THEM! Instead of being self-fixated, thoughts should go towards honoring and remembering THEIR mothers. Right?
That’s exactly what I do!
Thank you MMM for the lovely Mother’s Day wish.
Great photo accompanying your Mothers’ Day post.
