The dishwasher purrs, the rain subsides, the Oriole's opera belts from atop the crescent slice of orange nailed to the apple tree, Caleb is perched atop many billowing pillows eating homemade muffins slathered in butter and strawberry jam..... Max has just stumbled out of bed - off to his new job, and Kai will call precisely at 8.
There is something bigger than me! Than all of us!

A BIG Thank You
In this season of giving thanks and celebrating family togetherness, I wish to extend a warm thank you to everyone who has been involved in a myriad of ways with my son, Caleb Potter, and his recovery. On July 4, he was involved in a skateboarding accident in our little hometown of Wellfleet on Cape Cod, that caused him serious injuries. He came home from Spaulding Rehab in Boston just before Thanksgiving. Through the blog we started:

We could not have come so far without this legion of support from all of you, in Wellfleet and beyond. We are sincerely grateful.

Goodmorning sharyn, so nice to be uplifted by your words. Love grace.
Hope this is the best Mother's Day ever Sharyn. Things seem to be settling down nicely, and you sound very happy this morning.
The rain will come, but then the sun will shine and more will bloom.

Sounds like "Life is good today."
Amen, and that "something" is with us all CONSTANTLY. If only we take the time to look and listen! I believe in that "something" with my heart and sole. Happy Mother's Day Sharyn and all you other Mom's out there!
Thank you for the beautiful word pictures of flowers in messy houses, determined chicks, orioles, Caleb and fresh muffins with butter and jam. A great way to begin the day.
I read a quote recently that said:
'The difference between misery and happiness depends on what we do with our attention'
Seems like your attention, and Caleb's, Kai's, and Max's are all facing in a good direction. Bravo!
Spring helps and the love of friends and family...ever enduring.
May Mother's Day be sweet,fun, and deeply felt this year for you!
Love ya,
Suzibee
Sharyn,
Happy Mother's Day weekend. I hope you relax and ENJOY.
Happy Mother's Day to all in cyber apace also

There certainly is something bigger out there! Just take it moment by moment and smile to smile.
It's called life! It's called Hope!
The one thing we can't live without....hope.
As always, with you-know-what,

PS Happy Mother's Day to all of you lucky Moms out there.....
There is nothing like a post that leaves orange slices, apple trees, bird songs, and homemade jam running through your mind.

OH Sharyn, I believe that you are so right! My sense is that in order to have the sense of the greater, you must be aware of the smaller, less significant almost mundane, and that through that awareness comes a glimsp, glimmer of what we are truly a part of....Thank God for rain, an oriole's song, a crescent slice of orange, an apple tree, billowing pillows, homemade muffins slathered in butter and strawberry jam, Caleb, Kai and Max..and the list goes on.....
Today I am grateful for you, and the tendor loving care you have and are giving your very precious family. It was so special finally being able to meet you, and put my arms around you, and give you a sqeeze. I have done that so many times in my mind, over these many months, and have prayed that you feel the support and hope coming from so many people, friends and family.
This Mother's Day, which is different than any other Mother's Day for you, be aware of all that you have, all that you have been given, and all that is yet to come.
you are a remarkable woman, friend, mother, daughter, sister and you are LOVED! Thank you for touching my life, and that of my daughters'. She says to tell you that anytime you want to go frog catching just to give her a call...she'll come a running. My daughters your daughter...just let her know!
Be well, and take good care,
Con todo Carino,
Melinda
Nicole, thanks for the link to the article in the CCTimes. What a touching and beautifully written story. For those of us who never knew Jan and who were not able to be at the memorial service, it really brought both to life.
Sharyn, thanks as always for your inspiration.

Sharyn,

Happy Mothers Day to all!
Its a sunny cool day in the Berkshires and all that rain has made things start to burst (unfortunately including the lawn).
Sharyn, thanks for the comment. As you know that roller coaster goes up and down then up again.
Mumsie -
wishing you all things sweet and loving on Mother's Day.
Huge fierce maternal love,
Susan
