It's a Wonderful Day to Re-Connect

*****To all the WOMEN that read this ****



You don't need to be a Mom to be honored and thought of today. I know SO many wonderful women that have blessed the lives of the people around them as sisters, aunts, friends, supporters, and SO many ways I can't put into words. Thanks to all of you, those of us who have our children to raise are able to do so in a MUCH better way, as better and stronger women, because of all that YOU do and the strength you offer us. I thank you for ALL you offer, and wish to YOU and Happy (just as good as) Mother's Day!!!



I haven't done well at ALL keeping in touch with SO many people that matter to me. Some it's been the 9 months since we left Okinawa, and for others it's been SO SO Much longer. Over the last few months I've been able to thoroughly enjoy catching up on the amazing lives of so many friends that meant SOOOO much to me when I was a teenager. My brother shared their blogs with me, and I've read so far back in my attempts to catch up. The Reeve, Oscarson, Ockey and Vick Families, and other "Hingham-its" or "Foxboro-ites" we all enjoyed going to church together with.




As I sat and tried to figure out what to say after not writing for our change of address; not writing for Christmas, and NOT wanting to wait anymore now that I'm finding myself less lost in a dark hole (this place does that too a person, especially after returning from overseas living). So I wrote an odd little poem and mailed it out to so many of those that I actually had addresses for.



Below you will see the poem I wrote. You will also see my sincere request for contact info. Should you be reading this, and want to keep in touch other then strictly thru blogging, Please feel free to email your information. There's always room in out book of "Those we love to know". :o)

When we moved I wrote cards
So you’d know where to find us
I needed to buy stamps
Arg - couldn’t find the Post Office.

Once I knew where to go
My brain wasn’t working
So there sat those cards
sadly hiding, not seeking.

Once I realized my goof-up
More then 2 months had past…
With Christmas to come, thought,
“I’ll write then, at last.”

When it came time to write
Our family letter
My challenge then seemed
Putting something together.

I worked and I tried
To sit and to think.
Then the more that I tried
Proved my brain on the blink.

I’ve been a bum and a slacker.
It’s sad but it’s true.
Now it’s time I step up
So I’m writing to you.

You’re all Wonderful Women
And a privilege to know.
With my poor little poem
I’m just trying to show

That I’m honored and thankful
For the friendships you’ve shared;
For the love that you’ve given
The time and the care.

I don’t want to waste
Yet another day
So I’ll wrap up this rhyme
Send these off on their way.

Before I must go
I just have to say
I love you, miss you and Wish you
Happy Mother’s Day !!!

(We had a lightning storm and tornado watch, so I've had the computer off most of the day. It's way past my bedtime and I really hope you all had a wonderful day today. I'll try to remember to post about mine later.

Lots of Love to ALL the Mom's out there, past, present, future, and just at heart till you too get to marvel in the joy and insanity == enjoy the good sleep you get for now ;o).
