Mother's Rule

This picture of my mother's day present does not do it justice. I have admired the first picture Josie painted for her art class at the Lyndon House since she painted it. Much to my surprise I received it, framed no less. It is now proudly hanging above my bed where I can look at it every day.

It's such a wonderful thing to be a mother. Last week at choir practice Stacy mentioned that she had to keep me in line. The woman in front of us was surprised that I was Stacy's mom. She seemed much friendlier after that. I felt very proud that being the mother of such a talented and lovely person would elevate my stature in someone else's opinion. Although I didn't need that to feel proud.
