Mother's Day

I'd like to think that I could come up with a super post for this day, but alas, it has been a busy weekend, and nothing profound and awe inspiring springs to mind. In fact, because of the cool air, I'd like to take a cup of tea and a really engaging book to bed right now, and it is only 7:40 pm.

But plenty of other people have spent time and energy revering good old mom, and since I've been into posting quotes lately, I'm taking the lazy way out.

So here's to all you moms out there. Hope you had a super day!

Whatever else is unsure in this stinking dunghill of a world a mother's love is not. -James Joyce
