I'm sure anyone who might visit here (if there is anyone at all) has already seen it, but WHAT?!?!? And on MTV?!?!?

Wow

Doesn't the human body amaze you sometimes? I won't go into the details of why this thought was triggered in my little head. Suffice it to say that mine, at times, does. Amaze me, I mean.

Closing Time

So today was my last day. What I wasn't prepared for was the sadness and sense of loss. I guess I should have figured I would feel that way, being the emotional woman that I am, but I didn't. Anyways, I think that's all I really have to say about that. My new job doesn't seem real to me yet. I suppose it will when I start on Monday, but not yet. On another note, I went to the most beautiful mass on Mother's Day in the beautiful and newly renovated basilica in our beautiful city. The rendition of Laudate Dominum that was sung during communion nearly broke my heart. I love mother's day. I can't wait until the day I can be honored with the title of mother, and my mom is probably the most amazing person I know. She's so humble and holy. She served our family with such quiet devotion for the past 32 years, she keeps a perfect house and is an awesome cook. My mom is truly my hero and I hope I can be half as good a mother and half as true of a lady as she is someday (I have a lot of work ahead of me!). I love mother's day because motherhood is truly a vocation that is worthy of honor, but I don't think it is recognized as such today. Being a good mother is about the most important thing a woman could possibly do with her life. I once heard or read something somewhere that went something like this: A woman can be a good doctor or lawyer and still not be a good person. It is impossible to be a good mother and not be a good person as well. True, no? Well, it comes very close, at least. Happy mother's day, mom, even though it's a little late. May Mary, mother of God and model for the entire human race, keep you in her heart and commend you to her Son.
