Still Learning from Mom

Being retired means having leftovers for lunch often.  With my sweetie still working at the church, it's just me & the kitty.  Today as I was preparing to heat up my chicken & broccoli, I thought about mom & how she was very much into presentation, how her meals looked so appetizing, on a tray, with a napkin, small portions of this & that, maybe a dessert.  It's all about how you look at things, perspective, if you see something as mundane, boring, uneventful, it will be.  Likewise, through grateful eyes, a little preparation and the same thing can be an event/pleasant experience.  I LOVE leftovers!  What's not to like?  Just heat & eat & enjoy again.

Oh how I want to be like her.  I know I must be me & develop/recognize/embrace the me that God wants me to be.


How blessed I am to be your daughter Mom.
