Days that are uneventful and big…

Today is a day that is totally uneventful.   My plans include normal workday tasks and general housekeeping.  The weather is nice, but it’s just like any other weekday.

But today is big.

Today is my mom’s birthday.

I didn’t mail a card or buy flowers.  We have no plans with friends and there’s no sashaying around the house.  No special meals or surprises.

While I know that to the vast majority of the world, today is just a June 1st that falls on a Monday, I take comfort in the fact that there are a chunk of us out there who are thinking today of a woman who touched us, loved us and made our lives richer by her being in it.

Happy Birthday Mom.

This day is for you.

Says me.

** AMENDMENT**

I got over my own personal pity party and picked up the phone.  Pedicure in an hour for toes done red in I’m Not Really A Waitress and then cocktails and snacking food at dad’s house at 7:30 to raise a glass in her honor.

This is sounding SO much better than the first plan.
