Today I said thank you to my own mother and my mother in law, both of which I am blessed to still have in my life. I remember both my grandmothers who each in their own ways breathe ever breath I take, think every thought, feel every feeling and laugh every laugh I share.

And I know many mothers and can imagine many more. I often think of being a mother myself, think of the joyful moments, being humbled by the miraculous ones and respectful (ok, freaked out!) of what it really means to be a mother. Well aware that my imagination does not do ‘being a mother’ any justice, I am in even bigger awe of all the mothers who have stepped up and are stepping up to the ‘motherhood’ plate.

Tonight, my thank you goes out into the night, to be hopefully carried to where it deserves to be heard, to the mothers of this world. And I’m adding one big ‘thank you’-hug to one ‘Supermom’ in particular tonight, as I know she’s carrying an extra load at the moment. Thank you Jennifer.

With 19 minutes left until a new busy week approaches, let us hang on to today’s thank yous and make them last.
