We’ve travelled to Sydney to visit with my mother and connect with my son and his family. We visited my son yesterday and his beautiful wife and two children. Even though, I regard my in-law children and grandchildren as part of my family I don’t like to impede upon the special moments with their Nana. I guess its all a matter of respect and boundaries, isn’t it?
Our celebrations today include taking my Mum and sister out to lunch and sharing a meal where no one has to cook or clean – pretty much a nice gift, in itself, don’t you think?
Overall, I adore all of my family members. I feel massively fortunate to have them in my life. I feel content in the knowledge that I am blessed to share my life with such amazing souls. Actually, I always feel a little sad on the way down the highway after I leave Sydney. Conversely I feel sated by the connections and yet I feel that I am leaving a little piece of myself behind.
In our morning reading I’m going to personalize the cards that have been drawn. For example:
The Star – prepare to shine as brightly as the stars in the heavens. You are the star of the show today. Allowing the spoiling to begin and enjoy your time in the limelight.
The High Priestess – you know where the skeletons are buried and yet you are prepared to keep “Mum”. You love them unconditionally despite the fact that the flaws appear as grand canyons in their souls.
The Emperor represents boundaries we must set from time to time. Keeping the family together requires a balancing act of love, patience and the guidance of a strong mind.
Love comes in many forms – I know this and I am positive you do too! I have loved in a multitude of brilliant facets during my life. The love of my Mum is unconditional and enduring.
I love you Mum, now and forever!
Love, Peace and Mother’s Joy,
Julia Ashton-Sayers
