A love note to my ladies...

This is for all my family and friends who are mothers now and my family and friends who will be wonderful mothers in the future. I was reading a book tonight and the following quote was in it: "To be Queen Elizabeth within a definite area, deciding sales, banquets, labors, and holidays; to be Whitely within a certain area, providing toys, boots, cakes, and books; to be Aristotle within a certain area, teaching morals, manners, theology, and hygiene; I can understand how this might exhaust the mind, but I cannot imagine how it could narrow it. How can it be a large career to tell other people's children about the Rule of Three, and a small career to tell one's own children about the universe? How can it be broad to be the same thing to everyone and narrow to be everything to someone? No, a woman's function is laborious, but because it is gigantic, not because it is minute." AMEN to that, right!!! What a privilege God granted me with Mae, Whitt, and Bruce. I love you, ladies and I am proud of you! Ps-To my man: Thank you for going out there everyday so that I can have my most challenging and by far most rewarding job. I don't say it nearly enough. Love you.
