A Joyfu Mother's Day

Posted on the 11 May 2015 by Chasingjoy @chasing_joy
Yesterday was Mother's Day. My mom and I share a duplex so we spend a lot of time together. That does not mean I felt any less blessed to spend Mother's Day with her. My mom has been battling an illness for over two years now. Plus I am of the age where many of my friends are acting as care givers or have mother's who passed away. I am keenly aware that evey day is a blessing and days like Mother's Day are a blessing with a bonus.
 For Mother's Day my mom and I went to the ballet. The tickets we used yesterday were not our original ballet tickets. They were replacement tickets for a show we were supposed to see in the fall. I had to switch the tickets because my mom was in the hospital at the time. I had no clue the tickets would be for Mother's Day, they just switched me to a different ballet in May. What a blessing!
In addition to the ballet earlier in the weekend I treated my mom to a little gambling at Parx Casino. As my dad would say this was "not the year of the Bad Mother's Day".
 Here are me and Mom at the ballet.
