Moms are never far....

                                                             Good Morning.That sweet aroma never fails to stimulate my senses into just enough action to get my feet on the floor and shuffling towards the kitchen counter. Waiting patiently for me, my favorite cup sits all night for just this moment.mmm this is good coffee.I hope yours is just as good. I was reminded yesterday of how magical moms are. Yesterday was mom's birthday and thinking of her always makes me smile. You see, little things she does and ways she thinks reminds me so much of myself. I feel very lucky to have her. I might also add that I was adopted. The courage and strength mom had was incredible to make a decision to let someone else maybe give me a better life than she could amazes me.We were reconnected after 40 years and I have thoroughly loved getting to know her.It was like we were never apart. Once we got past the initial awkwardness, things really blossomed.I know there are a lot of adoptees out there that might feel slighted or have questions of self worth etc... but I never did . I was just always glad I wasn't aborted  and told myself that at least I'm here and that is what counts. People think that the environment plays a big role in whom we become  but I am here to tell you that you always have your parents residing right inside your mind. My adoptive parents are two of the best people I have ever known. They are righteous, good, upstanding Christians and did everything in the world for me but our personalities were so very different that we just could never get along. You see,  Mom was right there with me it seems when ever I made decisions in life. Our personalities are so in line with each other, that it was a little unsettling when we first met. My adoptive parents are the type of people that work at life as a job, always saving for that rainy day, always on the ready for some disaster that's sure to be waiting. As with me , Mom lives life as an adventure, always looking for that new path to walk on. To us life is a road trip with one destination only that we are sure about, the  rest, well we will just have to see.One more cup of this coffee and I think I can start my day. Boy this is good stuff. See you about the same time tomorrow.
