My Mom is an Angel.
Saturday night after working a busy holiday Saturday at the Salon, making Christmas cookies with the kids (sprinkles everywhere!), going to the Saline Holiday Parade, eating dinner out, and dropping kids off at friends-I got home around 9pm.
Walking into the house I was preparing to conquer the aftermath of the day. Much to my surprise, someone had snuck into my house and cleaned my kitchen spotlessly! At first I thought it was my husband-but as I looked closer, the cleaning was too perfect. Then, I saw the note...Love from Grandma and Grandpa xoxo. I was so grateful. It was as if Santa Elves had come!
This time of year people seem to shout gratitude more. There is such joy when we 'adopt-a-family', donate to a cause, rescue a dog, drop money into those buckets outside the mall (we all know the sound of those bells!), or attend a charity craft show. We should be sure to show gratitude to our families, too. Without them, where would we be?
I am so grateful for my Mom. Not just because she helps me, but because she has helped make me who I am. She is caring, loving, giving, strong, positive, Christian focused, active, helpful, smart, organized--this list could go on. She has more friends and groups than anyone I know. She mentors, coaches, facilitates and hostesses everyone. She actually had a thought last week of going back to work! My sister and I laughed. We both said WHEN?
I am grateful to have her as my role model. I hope to pass all these positive traits on to my own children.
My Mom is truly an Angel sent from Heaven!

You sound like an awesome person. This is the type of role model I try to be for my daughter. Though she is only 12 years old, I am hopeful that she remembers all the things that we have done together and that I have done for her - not to be thanked but simply because I love her and she is the reason I live. Your positive notes on here are so wonderful to read. Thank you for putting a good word out there to help others stay positive and thankful for what we have!
