Happy Mother's Day

On Mother's Day, I take time to stop and honor my mother for all the things that she is to me and my family. While she is not physically with us anymore, she is always with me in my heart, and, I know that who I am and what I believe in and value in life are reflective of her. Thank you, Helga for:

Your Green Thumb and Love of Gardening My annual ritual of planting comes from early lessons with you
Your Beliefs in Real Simple, Green and Low Carbon Footprint You were ahead of your time with a focus on reusing, recycling and conserving
Making Family Meals A Priority No matter what, there was always a family meal where we were all together
Traditions, Rituals and Heritage We grew up with a strong sense of who we are and what our heritage is
Health, Health, Health Your belief that health was more important than wealth
Your love of nature and all God's creatures You took time to stop and smell the roses and nurture all of God's creatures.
Your Courage You stayed steadfast and strong through all of life's ups and downs, and, you faced Alzheimer's with all the courage you had !

Happy Mother's Day !!! to all the Mom's out there !!! We are blessed to have you in our hearts and our lives !!!
