A quick addendum to Serenity week..

I must thank everyone for all their well wishes regarding my Mom’s health scare. As I shared last week, things looked very bad but turned quickly in the right direction. Even though her health was quickly improving, every time I was introduced as “the daughter who came all the way from California” I realized that my presence made a great difference to her. We were able to spend a lot of quality time together and in the end I think it was really wonderful for our relationship.

My daughter and my Sweetie were on their own for the week and managed to survive . It was the first time I had ever been away from my girl overnight so it became a delicious and poignant affair for me to be back home to enjoy Mother’s Day. My brother was able to be with my Mom and I was the recipient of many sloppy kisses and hugs all through the day. All in all it felt great to be missed and so welcomed back. The next time I visit my mom I will hopefully bring everyone along but I feel so blessed to know no matter what my family will support what needs to be done.

I really thought that I was going to have a lot more time to myself then was actually the case so I definitely did not enjoy all the benefits of Serenity I had expected. It was nice to have a few moments to think my own thoughts but I quickly filled those moments with Public Radio broadcasts or phone calls to friends and family. I just didn’t save space for Serenity to work her magic. Ah, well this is how things go sometime in the ebb and flow of Bliss Habits. There is always next time!

A happy belated Mother’s Day to all you Moms out there! And thank you again for your support during this past week. It made a difference to me!
