Mother's Day 2015

The snow is not as deep as it was last year on Mother's Day.  For this I am grateful. The rabbit right outside my window was making the best of the situation.  As the snow blew in the gusty winds his/her fur just kept getting whiter and whiter, but the rabbit stayed curled up in a spot as warm as any other in the frigid outdoors.  At least the house was providing some shelter from the wind.  The resilience of wildlife is truly a remarkable sight to behold.


A reprieve from the snow, ice, and wind would be most welcome.  Quite simply, I yearn for the warmth of summer at this point.  As I see temperatures in the 80's in other parts of the country, it makes the 20's feel really cold. Earlier this morning I looked and it was 82 in Miami and 28 in Cheyenne.  We had the same two numbers--only reversed.  At that revelation I took a cue from the rabbit and went back to bed and curled up under the covers.

Regardless of where you are and the weather conditions you are experiencing, I extend to you my best wishes for a "Happy Mother's Day."  Contrary to what society sometimes tries to tell us, motherhood is a very noble vocation.  I tip my hat to all of the mothers who work so diligently to nurture the lives of their children and grandchildren.  You bless all of us through the tender, loving care you provide to your family.  Subsequently, there is a ripple effect that positively impacts our world.  For that, we owe you a huge debt of gratitude.

                     Happy Mother's Day!
