Happy Mothers Day to all the wonderful Mothers and Mother Figures. This year I actually began being celebrated the day before (ask my Husband and he’d say all week), partaking in a collage of events that kept me in my happy place the entire day, and then along with my siblings and other family we celebrate our Mother Today. I must say even with the torrential rain, this entire weekend has been the absolute best. Enjoy the pics!
My day started with a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers, most of my favs, in colors that symbolize gratitude and appreciation, along with a handful of the most heartfelt Mothers Day cards and a luxurious custom spa gift basket; yes the one I recommended in a previous post (all the while hinting to my own children).
My visit to the Spa was everything! Literally…I indulged in everything from a mani and a pedi to an organic-facial to a Himalayan hot salt massage…and OMG! I find that these types of escapes can be necessary as mothering can be both taxing and rewarding all at the same time. As a mother of adult children…I nurture differently now. My significance in my adult children’s lives has transcended from caretaker to supporter; however no less important. My concerns are different, our conversations are different, my prayers are different…even-still from time-to-time my role in their lives may get overwhelming or even stressful. As Mothers we provide a sense of trust, wisdom and loyalty to our children like no other…and to have a soul believe in you and count you on this level is not only like “Whoa!” Its priceless.
My entire day had been easy-breezy (just like I like it). I couldn’t have felt more refreshed, relaxed and rejuvenated so after such an amazing visit to the Spa, a casual dinner was ideal, as I didn’t have any dress up in me…so I put on a tunic and a pump and called it a day.
If the start of the meal is Emm Emm Good! Then you already know!
Although I feel loved and appreciated everyday; the emphasis that went into expressing gratitude for my nurturing yet another year, exemplified pure love to the tenth power…I am Beloved and I will forever be grateful.
Note: It doesn’t have to be Mothers Day to treat yourself to a Spa Day, nor does it have to be on a luxury level. It’s doable on any level.
Thanks for visiting…and have an awesome day!
