Mother's Day

Some days like this,
when I get some time alone,
after the Mother's Day "family" stuff and doing wedding talk and cleaning the house,
when I'm just about pooped out and ready for a nap...

I become aware of just how grateful I am:
To have made a career out something I really enjoy doing;
Realized the few things that make me unhappy
And made intentions to avoid them,
Or more often to create something more compelling.

I can be incredibly solid but I've learned some form of fluidity
That allows me to focus, a majority of the time anyway,
On being happy, proud, communicative yet connected.
Or as some may call it, Amen.
