Quotes I’m Thinking About This Week:
“If at first you don’t succeed, try doing it the way mom told you to in the beginning.”

-Unknown

Mother’s Day can be challenging for many of us.  If this time of the year is difficult, please know you aren’t alone.  So I thought I would keep the quote light.  My mother almost always knew a better way to do something.  And I almost always found the most difficult way to do it!!!  I
can’t even imagine the patience it took to wrangle nine of us.  Let alone watch us make mistakes.  She resides in a very special place in heaven, I know that for sure!!!

I hope you have a great week!
