It's my first mothers day from this side of the fence. Thinking about it all, with an almost two week old baby next to me, it's all still awe-inspiring.

I am happy. Very very happy. This morning I sat with baby on lap, book in hand, bend it like bechkam on, husband in a chair near by asking if I wanted some me time, and the kitty cat in the bookroom sleeping. It was wonderful, ideal, fantastic. I just have this sense of calm. This may change when D. goes back to work tomorrow, but I just feel so at peace that it shocks me. I don't know if I've felt this way before.

I guess that's my mothers day gift - the gift of inner peace. No, my life did not begin with the birth of this child. But he has started a new chapter in it and I'm entering it happy and content.

Now to finish his website and rest for a while. Happy mothers day to those who are mothers and to the mother-figures of everyone. Take care and celebrate!
