This post was saved to Drafts so I could write out a full essay post, but given a few current events, I’ll be setting it to ‘Published’ on Thursday.
It’s Mother’s Day, here in the United States.
I’m giving the national context because I had learned recently from an associate in Spain that Mother’s Day falls on different days outside of the US, so I’m checking myself on the insular thinking.
Normally, this day would be chock-full of spending time with my mother, but we had a moment of pragmatism. The weather has been awful, and Mom called to say that she knows I appreciate her, but to not load up the family and drive through the storm to visit.
Which in retrospect just drives home why I appreciate my mother so much.
It’ll be a quiet day, otherwise.
Stay safe out there, folks. Write you mothers.

PS~ Apologies for the short post; it’s not how I like to write about holidays.
