happy (belated) mother's day to any of you who may fit the bill.
this was my first (official) day of "my own".
i have too many thoughts surrounding it, but none as poignant as these that i read this morning: here & here.

there are things i celebrate about being a mom.
there are things i worry about being a mom.
there are things i fear about being a mom.
there are things i shouldn't even think about being a mom.
there are things i miss about my own mom; especially since becoming one.

i'd like to share some fantastic thoughts. i'd like to open up (a little) & get new viewpoints. i'd like to commiserate with all of us who are missing their own mothers & motherfigures.
i just don't have the words.

enjoy your kids today. & tomorrow too.
