A Tribute to Mothers

We all have those phrases swirling around in our heads that are uniquely our mothers.
They are the ones that we “pooh pooh” at the time but then, some time later, realize how true they really are.

When my children were little, my mother would say,
“Little Children, Little Problems, Big Children, Big  Problems.”

When my children were young, while I agonized over every challenge , frustration, and the balancing of daily life with all my heart and soul, I thought clearly she just didn’t understand. At the time, it all seemed so big and important (and, back then, I guess it was)
Well, now that my children are much older, I see how true this is. In certain ways, I long for those good ole days when day to day meant juggling play dates, small little wants and needs and having the time to take a breath.

Now, it seems that life was so much simpler then.  Compared to today,  when your teenager is out for the night and you trust that he will be safe and smart and remember all you have taught and instilled in him. Or when  loving your child means making a $35,000/yr commitment to sending him to an out of state college of his choice or deciding whether your 15 year old can begin drivers education this summer.

So, Mom, I raise my glass to you and your “Good Health” (she only toasts to this and says “good health is the only thing that really matters” )
Well, a few recent health problems of my own have made me realize how true this one is, too!

So, MOM. Thanks, I've learned alot and  am still listening.
