How good does life get?

Written by Holly M. Hohlbein Wednesday, 17 May 2006 00:00

Calls from beloved family members. A handmade "penny purse." Champagne on the patio, in the sunshine with the Sunday NY Times spread out around me. A sumptuous brunch that I didn't have to cook or clean up from. An actual thank you, from a teenager, for "13 years of happiness." Kayaking through Mercer Slough, out-paddling my children, younger and stronger than me (OK, so they gave me a head start), not to mention the duck families and blue herons. Home-grilled hot dogs and hamburgers, eaten amidst the laughter of kids outdoing each other on the trampoline. Giftcards of books and coffee. The blessings of being loved and appreciated. How was your Mother's Day?
