Gourmet cheeses, chocolate
croissant, smoked NS salmon,
mimosa, coffee.....ahhhh.... |
Mother's Day was everything I wanted this year: Thoughtful words in a beautiful card, a delicious brunch with my favourite foods (I know, how do they choose? There are so many!), a family hike followed by a nice picnic, and dinner out. I had told everyone not to buy gifts, and to just make a card and be creative. When my son read me the card, and his short and sweet poem, he then said..."Mom, you really just wanted the
do this year, and not the
give ". How profound. The do. Not the give. The effort that went into my morning coffee (which was brought to me in bed), the beautiful brunch, the fantastic picnic (complete with snackies!), and the dinner out warmed my heart.
That family joyfulness sometimes gets lost in all the activities and busyness...it was nice to have one day to find it again.
