My husband bought me a nice vase of flowers...with two stargazer lillies added to it: our wedding flower. It was waiting at breakfast for me. Very nice.
And my reason for being mom let me hug him. Of course, he turned his head so I wouldn't entertain the idea of kissing him. Very 13-year-0ld.
But my best part was the surprise at the end of the day. A friend called with free tickets to see Il Divo in Camden...that same night. I haven't enjoyed anything like that in years!
I've been a fan for a long time but never thought I'd see/hear them live. What a treat! Of course, I've always had this thing for foreigners. His name is Carlos...a baritone. A phenomenal operatic voice, who just so happens to be the new wallpaper on my desktop.
Anyway, it was refreshing to feel that way again...like there was something out there that could still make me quietly silly...like when I was younger and so hopeful. Sorry TJ; you've been shouldered aside by a younger man for the first time ever .... ever!
It's good to sport a big smile about something, even from the crowd. I've lost a lot of that, but I guess that's natural as one ages. Despite all efforts not to, you've learned too much to enjoy the total ignorance of youth. But a passing cool breeze every so often really takes you back.
Time to check email, get that second cup of coffee and wait for today to happen. If you're a mom or know one, hope you/they had at least one cool breeze on Mom's Day. I had three.
