Rainy Mothers

3 things that make you happy:
autumn rains
playing on my zithers
transcribing music that i can then play

2 things you are looking forward to today:
wishing my mother a happy birthday - 86!
being out in the rain

2 long term things you are looking forward to:
honoring my mother-in-law in my thoughts and songs (she passed away on saturday, after a difficult illness)
new lives, carrying forward the spirits of our families

1 person you are going to appreciate:
"the mother," as an archetype? or perhaps more accurately, as a blurring of together some special mothers (mine, jo's, our grandmothers, jo herself, some young mothers near to us, some still as yet mothers-to-be)

She sounds like a wonderful woman.
