I celebrate all of us! I guess it always comes back to taking care of ourselves and being our own mother. I plan to take a long walk, perhaps do a facial and paint my toe nails. If I cook, I will ask someone else to do the dishes. Next time one of the kids asks, tell them exactly what you want. Maybe you just want a couple hours of their time to work with you in the garden or do some of the heavy lifting.
Gosh I hear you on the apology thing. It's hard to forgive someone who doesn't feel they did anything to be forgiven for. As we know, the forgiveness is more a gift we give to ourselves to release us from the bondage of hurt and pain. From your post I know you already know this.
Witz I find you to be an extremely strong mom and I look forward to reading your posts.
Hugs,
ML
