" That was the question the barista asked me this morning at my local Starbucks.  So I responded, &amp;quot;What do you consider a mother?&amp;quot;  The blank stare I got as she made my change, made me feel guilty for making her think too hard on a Sunday morning.   &amp;quot;No, I don&amp;#039;t have any children \u2014 just 2 rambunctious dogs waiting for me at home.&amp;quot;  &amp;quot;Oh, well, that definitely counts.&amp;quot; Then came her nervous laugh, as she quickly called out, &amp;quot;NEXT!&amp;quot;  *******************  This Mother&amp;#039;s Day, I am thankful for the wonderful mother I have been blessed with.   This Mother&amp;#039;s Day, I am thankful that I was able to spend time with a newborn yesterday, when my good friend welcomed her new baby girl into the world.   This Mother&amp;#039;s Day, I am thankful for my sweet husband who knows how hard today is for me.  This Mother&amp;#039;s Day, I am thankful for hope that still lives inside me that one day, I will celebrate today and everyday, being a Mom.  *******************  What are YOU thankful for today?
