Tonight I had the chance to attend my son's choir concert. It was wonderful. I don't know if the singing was all that great or if the songs were in tune. I wasn't really paying attention to that. I do know my son was front and center and sang and danced with his class. He even had the chance to play an instrument, a surprise to me. When I asked him later why he hadn't told me, he smiled and said, "Cause it was supposed to be a surprise."As I held his hand and walked to the car in the cold I realized I was a very happy woman. Being a mommy is a great job.
The holidays are getting closer and I realized what we all have in common is a season of gratitude. It does not matter what our religion or customs, this is the time to give thanks. Tonight I am thankful for my son and his quiet talents which amaze me. Thanks Pal, sometimes I forget.
P.S. For those of you who read my post about the Mommy Monster I wanted to note that events such as tonight's really help put things in perspective. I think my Monster may take leave of absence, and that is a good thing.
