Reflections on a Happy Mothers Day!
To all you moms, I’m wishing you a happy Mother’s Day. Maybe you’re like me and you don’t usually see your children on Mother’s Day, but you get to talk to them and wish them happy Mother’s Day too.
All the years of worrying and fussing and fuming with your kids goes way too fast. Although I love my freedom at this stage of my life, I miss the times when we were all together on a daily basis. It seems like eons ago now.
The nice thing about owning your own business is the opportunity to be in business with your children – if you choose. My son as been a part of our family business for 18 years. We have seen him mature from a gangly 13 year old trying to learn construction, to a 31 year old dad with four children of his own who is able to take control of jobs in progress, so we can enjoy more vacation time in our mid-life. I wouldn’t trade any of it for the world.
So, I hope you are reflecting on your blessings and that you are surrounded by the love of your family on this glorious Mothers Day 2008.
