If you are in the States, this Sunday is Mother's Day.
I got to thinking about my Mom, and having reached a point in my maturity that I can forgive her for......well, being my Mom. I have come to appreciate her for the woman she is...and the good things she taught me as my Mom.
The thing I admire most about my Mom is her ability to dream and to face facts and make a new decision.
My Mom was a really good dancer in a small town and she went off to New York City with bright dreams of being a prima ballerina......she was good enough to work steadily in the chorus lines but she realized not good enough to be a great dancer. Ballet is hard on bodies, the careers are short so she decided to go have a bit of fun while looking for the next part of her life. She joined Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey Circus!!! I have these great pictures of her riding elephants and dancing the web (that's the rope that hangs down with the girl at the top hanging upside-down with her ankle in a loop while a guy at the bottom holds the rope and spins her!), playing with clowns and hanging out with all manner of interesting looking people as they crossed the country on trains and in the old big top tents!
She has always had the ability to dream, face facts and dream again...
How cool is your Mom?

My mom isn't what you'd call stupid , but she can be ditsy at times . One of her most famous ones ended up as a short in Readers Digest , sent in presumably by a witness . She and my sister were in a crowded mall , looking for a specific store they had heard about . My mother wondered how they would ever find the store in such crowds in such a huge mall . My sister said , "Oh look , there's one of those huge maps with a layout of the mall and list of stores ." They went over to said map , went down the list of stores till they found the one in question , and located it on the map . My mom said , "But where exactly is that ? How do we find it from here ?"
My sister says , pointing at the map , "It says we're right here."
Mom says , "How do they know that ? Do they have cameras on us or something ?"
