Cursor…Cursor…Cursor…

Our first steps were probably hard to take. Remember that moment. We clung to a stable element. We looked out into a world where thousands of new adventures waited for us. Our hearts fluttered with exhilaration like a Hummingbird’s wings. Our knees trembled. We hesitated. Our feet felt like they weighed more than our entire bodies.

A quest as old as mankind called again.

We drew a breath and let go of the safe haven. The first shaky step made us hesitate, but we didn’t stop. We sat our jaws, focused and took another—more stable this time. With each step our confidence grew and showed in our smiles. We started our journey. We made one of our dreams come true and we’ve been working at others ever since.

Whatever your dream has been, remember one of the people who played a huge part in encouraging you to step on the path.

My mom is my best friend, and today she will be receiving chocolate and tomato plants.

Happy Mother’s Day.

  3. I got a big bottle of old lady Coke. Old Lady anything is what I call diet drinks. However, my 3 yr old bought me rum. Okay, my husband was the prime mover of said gift. He did buy me a blackberry with internet access this morning! Yippee! I can answer email when out and about. The grandmas all got my friends' novels. ;)

  5. LOL, Skhye. See flowers are not the gifts that make a mom happy. Enjoy the rum, DC, balckberry and the knowledge you set someone on the right path.

  11. Mother--the first safe haven.

    You mother is lucky. A gift to enjoy now and a gift to enjoy and share later.
    I will read some pages of the mystery on my bedside table and think of my mom. We loved sharing the books and authors we enjoyed. Mysteries were her favorite. I miss her.

    Autumn, you are doing a great job. Keep it Up!!

  13. HI, Lisa M. My mom and I shared Mary Higgins Clark, Sidney Sheldon and the Earth series. We have the same favorite book. The Valley of the Horses. A prehistoric love-story. It worked.

    Thanks for stopping by and sharing.
