Happy Mother's Day

Today is a day to celebrate the mother that you have in your life.
Today is a day to celebrate the mother that loves and cherishes you.
Today is a day to celebrate the mother that comforts you when you are sad.
Today is a day to celebrate the mother that you can turn to in your time of need.
Today is a day to celebrate the mother that doesn't hurt you.
Today is a day to celebrate the mother in your life....
What about those of us that don't have a mother in our lives because of abuse?

Today is my first Mother's Day without my "mother".  This is my first year that I have been "out" to accept the fact that my "mother" was an evil person.  I have not talked to her in almost a year.  She has called but I refuse to talk to her.  She does not deserve my time.  So what do I celebrate today?

I celebrate MYSELF!! 
I am an amazing person.
I am a survivor.
I am an amazing mother.
I am my own mother.
I am a gift on earth.
I am great.
I am worth living.
I am worth getting to know.
I am strong.
I am a fighter.
I am a great friend.
I am honest.
I am courageous.
I am loving.
I am compassionate.
I am capable.
I am beautiful.
I am intelligent.
I am a mother.
I am wonderful.
I am ME!

Thank you to the higher power for making me who I am today.
Thank you to the higher power for giving me what I have today.
Thank you to the higher power for giving me the opportunities I have.
Thank you to the higher power for allowing me to live.
Thank you to the higher power for making me strong.
Thank you to the higher power.....

Happy Mother's Day to all of you that celebrate YOURSELVES on this wonderful day!!
Be good to yourself!!
