Happy Birthday, Mom.  I

celebrate the day you were born.  Love you!   Miss you!

Don't step on the crack, you'll break your mother's back!

I fractured my spine but not because one of my kids stepped on a crack.  Life has changed. Christmas was canceled, the scrumptious brunch I planned not to be.  Instead we celebrated at my cousin's home on the Eve and late Christmas Day went to my youngest son's girlfriend's parents home on the beach.  It was so relaxing.  Life changes...tensions fade and life goes on whether you break your spine or not.  I have learned not to do, but to allow others to do for me.  I have learned to say no, I can't do that.  I have learned to take great care of myself. I have learned to listen to my body and I have conceded to the Divine's efforts to change the direction of my path. Life changes.  I look forward to the unknown road ahead and I am listening for the directions and got my walking shoes.
