Well, despite all my efforts to screw up Mother's Day, I had a great day. I began by going to meditation and Anam Thubten's dharma talk. He was focusing on the preciousness of life. Lovely. Then I got home and some of the kids came, we made sandwiches and ate then took the dogs on a walk in the hills. It was hot for our dogs, but they were very happy to be out and our female dog talked to everyone we crossed paths with. Then we came home, our older son and daughter-in-law arrived, as did my good friend, and it was warm enough to sit outside and have beers and chips and then the kids barbequed an amazing salmon, with quinoa and salad Nicoise, and we had fruit salad and lemon cheesecake my friend had brought. I never had to put on a sweater and it was so relaxing. After everyone else had left, our younger son and my husband and I sat in the kitchen and talked some more. It was perfect.
At the very end of the day I called my best friend, and checked on her day and we promised to talk more later. Then I went to bed, a happy mom.
