On this day

On this day...

find beauty in the simple things 


take a closer look at things you have
and see them with a new perspective
with a new light

share time with those you love
remembering and honoring from where you came
no matter the trials or challenges

breathe freshness into your life
find new things to motivate and encourage yourself and others


and most of all 
have a wonderful day
now and always.

Love you mom. Your gift of the little thoughtful book so many years ago brought happiness to my heart today and reminds me of the beauty you have always taught me to seek.

    Good for you for remembering to keep this! I have kept a lot of cards my mother has given me as well as ones from my step-dad, grandmother, great uncle and great aunt. It's a wonderful way to keep their memory alive!

    So happy to meet you, Tanya. You have a beautiful blog too! Thanks for your comment on Gracious Hospitality. The embroidered napkin you mentioned in your comment was made by my mother. It's one of my "treasures". I always think of her when I see it.

    Enjoy your day!
