Dear Fellow M.O.M.’s,
    I am THANKFUL for this opportunity to write to you. I am THANKFUL!!! As a M.O.M., I feel especially thankful for technology, new inventions, and creative, out-of-the-box thinkers. I don’t even like to think about what it was like as a M.O.M. when my Nana was a new M.O.M. 51yrs ago, let alone before that. I am thankful that I was born at this time and that I have the opportunity to reap the benefits of brilliant minds.
    You are a M.O.M. when……you are THANKFUL  for hospitals, medicinal drugs, cell phones, telephones in general, poison control, policemen that will come for free and unlock your car when you have locked all of the children in their carseats  safely and then locked the car doors, easy mac or easy anything, music, ipods, movies in the house or car, games, giggles, traditions, teachers of all kinds, girls nights out, truth or dare, howling at the moon, friends to laugh with, a shoulder to lean on, breast pads and pumps, bottles, sippy cups, disposable diapers, internet, carseats, seat belts, 8 passenger vehicles, cribs, refrigerators and freezers, for the freedom we have, the right to worship how we want,  the power of prayer, the FACT that miracles happen everyday.  You are a M.O.M. when you are THANKFUL that you are a mom.
     I am so thankful for the opportunities that I have had to be a M.O.M. in many different ways in my life so far and look forward to the future opportunities. Being a M.O.M. is not the easiest,  but when look at in an eternal perspective, it is the most rewarding. We have the power to love others like no one else can. We have the power to influence and inspire each other to become who they are and reach their full potential. We have the power to change the world one loved one at a time. I am THANKFUL to be a mom.
