this sweet moment belongs to yesterday.

 as we were on our way to see my Ninny for her birthday!

 Yep my grandma and momma’s birthday’s AND mother’s day always fall on the same week.

TODAY is my momma’s birthday, and I’m taking the day off to head to the beach for lunch and relaxing beach side.  

My mother has taught me  EVERYTHING.

To be gracious, especially when it means humbling yourself. 

To be kind.

To be forgiving.

To smile.

To listen.

To selflessly give of yourself.

To put family first.

To start your day with prayer.

To put on a little lipstick (for goodness sakes!).

To be hospitable.

To never leave a vase without flowers.

To focus on what’s right in front of her.

To be thankful. always.

I am my mother’s daughter.  at least, i hope i am.  

Happy 62nd Birthday to the lady who taught me everything.

If i get just an ounce of your grace and beauty, i will be set for life.
