Sharron, this is such a beautiful tribute to your Mom. Isn't it amazing how the little life lessons she taught seemed so simple, and yet they were all the 'stuff of life'.
Scotch and soda was my Mom's go-to. One of my favorite Momisms was, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all."
Thank you for sharing Kindness Magnet. That is truly a gift.
I subscribe to quite a few Substacks. Yours resonates more than any other. 💜
Oh my God, that was her! What a blessing she was to the whole family, and how fortunate you are to have the memories of her life, and what a fortunate woman she was, to have her life stories land on such fertile soil. Remarkable piece, Sharron!
I could hear your mom's voice through your words. I could see her smile and twinkling eyes. I could feel her love for me like it was yesterday. Thank you. Lois
Compliment SOMEBODY every day. Fabulous color of her hair, like a tropical bird! Wild leggings...makes me smile ))). Woman calming a shrieking child in the store: you're a good Mom. To a couple in the grocery, obviously long time hard time.... what a beautiful child ). Mom nearly cried. Did you hear that Bob? She said what a beautiful child! Hearts lighter that day. Notice things. Smile.
Happy Mother's Day, Sharron! I'm so happy that I met Katy, sat at Leba's table with the two of You. Thank You for these memories and photos of the two of You. I "get" You and Your love and affection for each other. My Daughter and I live together, and my granddaughters, and It's the "heavenly best." Thank You!!!
Such wonderful advice from an outstanding mom, Sharron. No wonder you still miss her so very much!

This really spoke to me. I shared it with my daughter. This will stay with me all day.
I love this, Sharron. Your mom was a treasure! And her cherished lessons to you are now our lessons. Especially love:
“There are times when my greatest accomplishment is just keeping my mouth shut.” Words to live by….🌷
A beautiful tribute to a special mother❤️
You were blessed to have such an insightful woman in your life, especially one who raised you to be the person you are.
Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful!
How Blessed you are to have had such an amazing relationship that continues to the amazing person you are!

Sharron, Just as you were blessed to have such a wonderful mom, she was blessed to have such an appreciative daughter.

OMG Sharron you are an amazing & fascinating writer! I'm so very much enjoying reading what you write.
I know your mother was (and is) very proud of the daughter she produced.

Your Mama was a wise woman. My favorite takeaway "and we have another whole day to find some good and do some good."
