This is YOU...and this is You TOO???

So much to write about. So little time.

Here's what's on my mind at this very moment...people who have multiple accounts on Facebook with the same name. Funny...I just got a giggle as one of those folks is actually one of my faithful readers here at "The Dialogue Den". She's not who I was thinking of though when I came up with this post. In her case, I know that one page is her personal page, and the other is for her business.

I have 3 other friends though who have duplicate pages and I don't think that those dupes are for personal/business purposes. What really tickles me is when one "identically named page" will like something that was posted on the other "identically named page". I just don't get it. But then again, I don't get why folks "like" their own statuses either. I mean...isn't it implied that if you POSTED it... then you probably "like" it anyway.

I dunno. That's just me thinkin' again.

So anyhoo...

Let the Dialogue begin: Do YOU have multiple Facebook pages with the SAME EXACT NAME? And if so...please tell us why. My inquiring mind would like to know.

Talk to me!

Til next time...

I Made It!

So here I am...and I can happily say that I've made it through this day. My first Mother's Day WITHOUT my Mom. It's been 6 months and a day since she left this earth. Some days are rough. Others...not as much.

If she had still been here the day would have included a visit to her home, where she would have been sleeping until we arrived. She'd come out in one of her night gowns and hang with us a bit until she got tired again.

We'd give her a gift, which probably would have been toe-socks (she LOVED toe-socks) or something with a chihuahua on it (she LOVED chihuahuas even MORE than toe-socks).

All in all though, I'd have to say that today was a great day...mainly because my kids made it so. Even before today, they made sure that it was great by sending me roses which arrived on Thursday. A lovely assortment of multicolored roses. Then they topped things off today by all being here at home with me (which is rare). We had breakfast, took some naps, and then headed to my FAVORITE restaurant for dinner.

I'm home now and simply THANKFUL.

Although I miss my Mom, I am thankful for the fact that she is no longer sick, and has been "livin' it up" ever since she arrived in Heaven on November 9th, 2014.

And I am even more thankful for the three whom God chose to bless me with...the three who call me MOM. There's really not a whole lot more that a mother can ask for.

So that's about it.

Happy Mother's Day to all of the Mom's out there...biological and in every other sense. And to those whose Mom's are no longer here on Earth...I bid you an EXTRA SPECIAL Happy Mother's Day...because I know more than anyone, just how much you need it.

Let the DIALOGUE begin: How did YOU celebrate Mother's Day today?

Talk to me!

Til next time...
