Thankful...

Sometimes you need a soft place to land when life gets hectic. I am thankful to this universe for surrounding me with people I know care about me as much as I care for them. For teaching me strength, for being able to get up when I've fallen, to those who taught me good work ethic and business sense.

I've never asked much from anyone, I wanted my son to know everything we had we did through hard work. Now in his 20's he understands and appreciates it, and I am thankful for that. Although I am extremely feminine but could work a homestead as good as any gent out there, my strength sometimes goes soft and I need from the people who taught me I am stronger than I think- my parents. And so I decided to invite them out for dinner at one of my favorite restaurants in La Jolla~ Herringbone.

I am grateful to have them, for them to still be here with us, and instead of me crying out to them what a hard week I've had with my business expansion and just venting I decided to celebrate them instead. Thank you dad, thank you mom. I love you.

Cheers! ... I'm like your new banner :)

Thanks sugar! Happy day to you!

Yes, it is good to be thankful for our parents. My dad is gone, but so many lessons he taught me that I am still grateful for. My mom is still with me so I am so grateful for that.

I believe you gained strength from just being with your parents.

Yes friend, it truly is a blessing to have our parents around. I am sorry to hear about your father but I am happy to know you still have your mother to love and share your time with.

La vida le bendecira por compartir con sus padres ese es el mejor regalo que podemos tener compartir nuestros logros y celebraciones con ellos es lo mas gratificante de la vida gracias por compartir tan bellos e intimos momentos al lado de sus padres.

Gracias amigo, una de las bendiciones más lindas es tener nuestros padres para compartir tan lindos momentos, y hasta en momentos difíciles estoy agradecida por tenerlos a ellos.
Lindo miércoles a Ud mi amigo y su familia.

What a beautiful daughter and mom you are @artedellavita

They are even more so💕

My dad past away in 2008 but my mom still here with me and I am really very grateful for having her with me. She's always here be it good times or you are going through hard moments!

I'm sorry to hear about your father, I just had a scare with mine this morning, he had heart trouble and I had to rush him to the hospital. :( Luckily he's home now, I brought him to my home and he is resting. I think I'm going to have him move in here. My mother lives separately and she enjoys it haha she loves to travel and they have been divorced for a couple of years but remain best friends.
Big hugs to your mom, she obviously raised a talented man :)

Oh i'm really very sorry to hear that! Yes take good care of him and tell him to relax and take it easy. Only rest can makes him better!

Thank you for your kind words.

Thank you for being you! Love your new banner, has a hint of the old gods in it!

Aww thank you and likewise...
I think we all have a bit of the old gods in us ;)

I didn't get along with my parents, we didn't speak for nearly 20 years, my mother died 5 years ago, I didn't find out until 3 days later, My father is still about, I hate them both.

Sometimes it's hard to get along or we are forced to get along with others just because society says we should, if your have your personal reasons not to get along with them it's understandable and I am sure the traits that made you not like them have been discarded from you as a parent for I can see you are a loving and doting mom to yours. And that is all that matters in the end <3

My parents weren't the best, very violent, I don't have those traits, My daughters are my life not my punch bags

And that my dear is what makes you a wonderfully admirable woman and mother <3

Thank you :) <3

Keep strong and carry on, Glad you were able to have some quality time with your folks. Beautiful photos as always, those oysters look delish

I truly enjoyed it friend, thank you! And yes the oysters were so good I ordered 3 dz 🐷 Lol
But yes it was so nice to get to spend time with them💜

What a way to stay positive and uplifting...

Thank you, yes, there was no use to weigh them down with my stories, instead I valued their company and made it all about them :)

Mine are both gone and I miss them terribly. So proud of you for having such a great attitude towards life even through difficult times. I know your parents enjoyed themselves!

I'm sorry about your parents friend, when you're young you think you'll have them forever and as you get older you realize the reality of things, so I take what little or lot I have left with them🎀
