I to, was a first time Mother of the Bride this past January. Our first daughter was married and it was an exciting time, but also as you said-- I found myself living her life all over; thinking of her being born, going to school, driving, dances, college and so on. I found myself yearing for her to be small again. But then I realized that she wasn't leaving us, that she was actually making our family grown in number and in love. I treasured the six months that we planned her wedding together and when her father handed her to her groom, I was looking to the future, not the past. It's almost 6 months since the wedding and they are expecting our first granchild the end of December. I am so richly blessed and know that you are feeling the same way. Good luck to you and your daughter on this joyous occasion and enjoy this special bonding time that only a mother and daughter can share. I just wrote my fist blog today on my site..Mother of the Bride blog. Maybe we can share stories and ideas with each other. Enjoy! Hello,

Good luck to you and your daughter on this joyous occasion and enjoy this special bonding time that only a mother and daughter can share.

Our hearts are filled with joy and love about the upcoming marriage of our children. I awoke this morning, strangely enough, with a haiku forming in my head...minimal in syllables but overflowing with emotion. Son in Gemini A girl, to you, in Libra Two...love in balance. Looking so forward to it all... Mother of the Groom Dear Mother of the Bride,
I am usually a person of many words, especially in conversation. Our hearts are filled with joy and love about the upcoming marriage of our children. I awoke this morning, strangely enough, with a haiku forming in my head…minimal in syllables but overflowing with emotion.

Son in Gemini
A girl, to you, in Libra
Two…love in balance.

Looking so forward to it all…
Mother of the Groom

Maybe he should start charging interest for late payments, or maybe he should really just start establishing a date when payments are due. Oh, the joys that money bring!

I had been taking glucosimine for several years, to help the dull ache in my hips. At one point I ran out, and decided to wait until the brand I liked went on the proverbial '2 for 1 sale.' At the same time, I started Yoga, and noticed that my hips no longer ached ! It's been about 2 yrs. now since I've taken the glucosomine....and I don't miss it! Besides, I'd rather spend my money on Yoga class, for not only does it benefit my hips, but it benefits my whole being (physical & emototional!) Yoga will probably help TREMENDOUSLY !

If you are worrying about something out of your control, give up the worrying because it accomplishes nothing and is a waste of time. Bad things happen to good people. It happens everyday. It's not fair, but it happens. It took me a year's supply of Rolaids to finally get that through my head, and once it did, the Rolaids were gone.
