COT:
Today would have been my mom Jane’s 83rd birthday.
By 29, she had seven kids. She began showing signs of Alzheimer’s around 59 and died ten years ago at 73.
When I think about what she carried, it puts my own problems in perspective. I probably have it ten times easier — but probably complain ten times more.
So today, I’m reminding myself that many of the things I call burdens are actually blessings: people who need me, responsibilities I can manage, and a mind and body that still work.
My challenge to myself is simple: complain less, be more grateful , and don’t take the people, responsibilities, and life we’ve been given for granted.
Happy 83rd birthday, Mom. :heart:
