My vacation...

Have I mentioned just how incredibly

blessed I feel...

I am no Pollyanna, believe me...

My natural disposition tends

to be sceptical,

pessimistic,

aggravated,

practical,

rational (except on hormone driven days),

warily cautious,

so, knowing this about myself..

I aim everyday to find the "good"

in my life.

I have to ....

if I don't, I will fall into a funk that

is morbid and dank.

So, today I choose to see the

blessings that have been bestowed upon me...

The most prominent

example is the vacation that I

have just returned from.

My son sent us to the beach.

He paid for it....

Yes, you read right...

he paid for it....

Mind you,

I have no idea

what I did to warrant

this blessing.

Yes,

I gave birth to him,

took care of him,

but I've made lots of mistakes too...

You know what I am talking about moms.....

the times you are pushed to wall with things to do..

and you just snap..

say things you shouldn't

do things you shouldn't

all the while

knowing

that taking these things

back...

well, will be impossible.

I have tried

very hard to be the best mom

that I can be,

it has not always been enough.

But this trip

tells me

that

I

am

forgiven

for

not

being

perfect...
