It was too long for Facebook

I tried to post on Facebook, but apparently my wordiness this Wednesday morning surpasses the character limit for status updates.  So here you go...

I will cherish today. It is the only one I have.  I want to soak up all that it has to offer...all the snuggles, all the kisses, all the teachable moments.  I have been given a gift to raise these four children.  They look to me to provide a living example of all I try to teach them. They need to SEE love and selflessness in action.  They need to HEAR kind and healing words spoken.  They need to FEEL my arms around them and feel kisses on their foreheads. They need to SMELL and TASTE good food that is made with love and that will fill their tummies. They need to KNOW that I truly believe that being a mother is the best thing in the entire world. This may be the hardest job I have ever done but there is none more important.
