Happy Mothers Day

Wanted to wish everyone a happy mothers day today.  We had a chance to have brunch with my mom today and were treated to an awesome meal made by Matt.  My gift was the front lawn and a sprinkle of mulch to freshen up the front bed.  I had something else in mind too but,  the weather was not exactly ideal for planting annuals.  We actually had some snow here and their was definitely a chill in the air.

I am fortunate to have my mom in my life.  She has been with me through my ups and downs and I am grateful to have her consistent love with me.  I hope the changes I have made in my life have made her proud of me and that I can continue to grow in to the man, the son, the brother, the friend and the husband I know I can be.

I am also thinking of my sister today.  This is the first mothers day since Amaya passed a way last year and it must bring with it a mixture of emotions.  My sister is a strong, vibrant, caring, loving and compassionate mother and I know Amaya will always be in her heart.  Elias is fortunate to have a mother like Les to help guide him through life.  They are expecting another addition to their family very soon and I cannot wait to meet my new nephew or niece.  My thoughts and prayers will certainly be with them in the coming months.

I have had two positive weeks in a row.  I have been challenging my mind more often and fighting to maintain a sense of stability.  I am encouraged by my progress and can only hope I can continue to grow within myself.  I do need to stop worrying so much as most times, there is absolutely no need to stress about things. Much of the anxiety or worry is built up in my mind and never amounts to much in reality. 

Going to watch the Leafs game now.  Game six in Toronto, should be fun to watch.  All the best in the upcoming week.  Take care,  Shawn.

Live, Laugh, Love.
