If you ever had a mother (or are one), this day is the day to take notice and honor them. It may be a Hallmark Holiday, but Mom deserves a little consideration, don't you think?
So, it's Mother's Day. I'm taking my daughter and family, including HER mother (my ex, if anyone is keeping score) out for lunch today. It's been like pulling shark's teeth getting her to sit still for even a moment; she's carting my granddaughter off to dance classes and competitions, working from home full time, and flipping houses. We might start a conversation via text and the next thing you know, she's gone silent. I told her she needs to at least make an attempt to let me know when she's not able to chat anymore. So, at least today we'll have some F2F time together. I don't envy her busy life!
Our church decided to honor moms by replacing the women who serve as greeters, babysitters and communion servers with men of the congregation today. I serve communion often, when asked, so I volunteered to do so again. Other guys are not so experienced, so we're showing up half and hour early to get the scoop. Served by a woman. Go figure.
So, other than that, it promises to be a delightful day. I did a five mile walk yesterday around the golf course community in absolutely perfect weather for it, temperature around 70?, slightly breezy and bright sun. More of the same today but slightly warmer. Depending on what happens after lunch, I may do it again. Otherwise, it's baseball, guitar practice and enjoying the day. I hope the rest of you do, too.
