I’m not a mother but I still like to nurture and make pancakes.
I remember when I was a kid I used to come home from Sunday School and my mother would get drunk and try and make us pancakes.

Today is Mother’s Day. May you see all the grains of beauty and happiness the world has to offer.
Is money money or isn’t money money. Everybody who earns
it and spends it every day in order to live knows
that money is money, anybody who votes it to be
gathered in as taxes knows money is not money. That
is what makes everybody go crazy… When you earn
money and spend money every day anybody can know the
difference between a million and three. But when you
vote money away there really is not any difference
between a million and three.
Poem by Gertrude Stein, Money
To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
Poem by William Blake, Auguries of Innocence
Some people have the greatest relationship with their mother.
Other people don’t. I’m embarrassed by some of the things I
did to my parents as a teenager. Nobody’s perfect. We got
along better as adults. My mother died last year, and I miss her.
The Mother of Mother’s Day: Anna Jarvis (Mother’sDayCelebration.com)
“Mothers are not the nameless, faceless stereotypes
who appear once a year on a greeting card with their
virtues set to prose, but women who have been dealt
a hand for life and play each card one at a time the
best way they know how. No mother is all good or all
bad, all laughing or all serious, all loving or all angry.
Ambivalence rushes through their veins.”

Motherhood, the Second Oldest Profession
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY.
