M&M's Mom& Mystele

Today when I awoke, I rushed to the computer to play a very fast game of scrabble. I was losing, with sixteen seconds left in the game, my opponent played a “p” something propelled me to play the word “hopeless” a bingo (using all seven letters) for a double triple word score and one hundred and sixty seven points! Giving me the win and highest point word I’ve ever had! I felt Mom with me, she loved scrabble as much as I do!

My mom passed away with lung cancer seventeen years ago today! To be honest, we had a labored relationship. Soon after she passed I forgave her not being everything I expected! Now I realize I expected too much, she really did the best she knew how, for that era! Yes my self esteem was somewhat scathed, but over the years I’ve managed to balance that out. Being the victim was never a healthy choice for me.

Also in my email inbox today was a win for a print from Mystele! I am thrilled to bits, as I adore all her folk art and have giggled like a school girl as I watched her little guy on a youtube video sitting on her knee while she announced the contest! Now the big dilemma is which beautiful print to pick as so many speak to me! I’m going to concentrate on one that will have a special place in my house!! Mystele has another contest taking place, so be sure to stop by her blog and leave a comment; you too could be a proud owner of a special print!
