I feel extremely honored to have been asked by JDaniel4's Mom to write a guest post for her series, Pause Life for a Moment. You can head over there to read some of my thoughts on an issue that I think generates enough shame that we mothers are disinclined to talk about it.
Thanks so much, JDaniel4's Mom, for giving me this opportunity; and thanks for your blogging friendship and encouragement! :)

In other news on this beautiful day, May 24th happens to be the birthday of someone very special to me: this fine gentleman!
That, in case you couldn't guess, is my dad; and the baby he's holding is me--about 35 years ago. Dad, you haven't changed a lick in the last 35 years! :) Well...OK...so you've changed a little bit. ;-) But your faithful love has stayed the same, so today I not only say, "Happy birthday!" but also, "Thank you from the bottom of my heart!"
I always like to look back to see what I posted on previous birthdays. Here are some from the past few years: :)

I just read your heart filled words on Pausing Life for a Moment. I think we all have had issues with anger like that. Especially when we are tired and worn out. It gets tough at times! Thanks for sharing it through your eyes.
