Good MORNING Sunshines!
I am visiting today my good friend Tausha’s FANTASTIC Blog
.Take a minute to say hi!
Show me the love girls…

Today I was ready to write a cool post about a little home improvement makeover that I have for you
when I realized I was too cold and ill to try such thing… and in that moment the image of this came into my mind…
.
.
So my ladies today all you get from me is me…
No pictures, or fancy dancy tutorials, just me in my pj’s with a nose as red as Rudolfs…
{ perhaps because I ran out tissues and this is my best second thing}
.
.
.
.
Tired as I could be but incapable to go asleep, after turning many times and sneezing so many others I decided to get up, warm up some water, squish half of a lemon and some good old honey inside hoping this would make me feel all better…
.
.
.
While making my homemade remedy the memory of my mama came into my mind doing this very same thing for me as a child.., hoping perhaps that it would made me feel all better as well.
I remember complaining between each sip of the disgusting drink, swearing in my head that I will never drink it again when I was older and that I WILL NEVER give my kids such thing…
{Ha!}
.
And here I am trying to remember how much lemon did she put… how much honey..? how much water..? And somewhere between the cutting board, the honey bear and the microwave the thought that crossed my heart and brought a tear to my eye was …HOW MUCH LOVE?
.
So please forgive me if I open my heart a little too much and I share one of those moments
from my heart to yours.
.
Love is a pretty powerful thing… you know?
It pushes us to do things that we didn’t know were possible. It makes us strong and weak, it makes us grow and reach places far from our imagination and other times it makes us shrink to be able to enter inside of even the smallest hearts.

Love makes us laugh and cry, it makes us believe and never lose hope but more than anything else I think love makes us realize that we are not forgotten, that we are not invisible, that somehow, somewhere, somebody cares for you and me…

HOW MUCH LOVE?
.

…Oh mama! I hope I have enough love to stay awake all night when somebody needs me…
Enough love to build dreams and give wings to one that doesn’t know it can fly… Enough love to say I’m sorry, to forgive and to allow and welcome second chances… Enough love to be grateful for those around me everyday.
.
.
HOW MUCH LOVE?
.
I hope, I REALLY HOPE I have enough love to say good morning and thank you…
enough to push myself to see beyond what my eyes can see…
enough to listen to the quiet voice of the one that never speaks…
enough to read the invisible feelings of my neighbor’s heart.
.
.
HOW MUCH LOVE?
.
Enough love to say yes to every thing that is good,
enough to celebrate the successes of others,
enough to share what I have, enough to find the courage to stand up,
enough to be grateful, enough to smile, enough to be a friend to anyone.
.
.
HOW MUCH LOVE?
HOW MUCH LOVE?
.
I hope I have as much love as you had for me mama…
enough to wake up in the middle of the night to warm up some water, with some drops of lemon and honey, hoping that tomorrow my child can feel better too…

PS Feel better soon 🙂
I always use my Grandmother’s remedy (Irish), in a mug place; a heaping spoonful of honey, the juice of one lemon, an overflowing shot of brandy or whiskey. Fill to the top with boiling water and drink as quickly as you can. That and lie down and don’t try to move around after the ‘medicinal’ shot.
Hahaha!
You gotta love the Irish… We crazy Europeans!
Very eloquently put! Your words are my feelings expressed. Thank you.
I remember my Mom giving me the same thing so that really brought back the memories. I actually could use that myself since I have picked up this cold and am leaving for Utah tomorrow to go see my granddaughter Lacey at BYU. I’d better go get some honey and lemon.
:tears:
So this post brought tears to my eyes :o) Happy tears! All of us who have experienced love like that, the incomparable love of a mama, need to remember how lucky we are! Thanks for the thoughts &reminders this morning!
LOVE this post!! thanks for the reminder and inspiration, I needed it more then you know. Great way to start my day! Hope you feel better soon. Much love friend!
