When I woke up this morning I had this aching desire to see my mom and hug her just one more time. It's been 25 long years since she left to tend her garden in heaven.... Then i thought of my two boys - Gabriel and Christian. Those adorable dimples they both had, heart breakers for sure. I realized that without them, I wouldnt even be celebrating Mother's day today....<br />

I pray for the power of discipline and moderation, not only to run throughout my life, but also to live my days reasonably, and observe unexpected pleasures and heights.</div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
Save me from the naive belief that everything in life has to go smoothly. Give me the sober recognition that difficulties, failures, fiascos, and setbacks are given to us by life itself to make us grow and mature.</div>

You know how much we need friendship. Make me worthy of this nicest, hardest, riskiest and most fragile gift of life.</div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
Give me enough imagination to be able to share with someone a little bit of warmth, in the right place, at the right time, with words or with silence.</div>

Do not give me the things I desire, but the things I need.</div>

It's day two of the The Open Championship. I sat on the grandstand of the 17th hole today at St. Andrews. Matt Kuchar (-3), Phil Mickelson (-3) and Henrik Stenson (-2) were approaching. Matt ended in the bunker and blasted it out near the grandstand to end up with triple bogey. It was too painful to watch. Even Tom Watson said that in all the years he had played St. Andrews, it was the first time he played with the pin placement on hole 17th being where it was. Matt Kuchar is one of the nicest tour players and I have been rooting for him. He ended the round with even par. The projected cut is +1 and I am hoping Matt is in and able to bounce back this weekend.</div>

After 40 years and five victories at The Open we take our hats off to Tom Watson who will play his last open Championship this year. We were fortunate and blessed to be in an exclusive gathering to honor Tom Watson at The 2015 Open Championship in St. Andrews (Thank you very much to Ogie Alcasid and Master card). The last time I watched the Open Championship was at the Royal St George's where I saw <a href="http://monique-ignacio.blogspot.co.uk/2011/07/glorious-second-day-at-open.html">Tom Watson make a hole in one</a> in 2010. It was such a treat to hear Tom share his most memorable experiences at The Open. When asked what would be his dream 4-some - he said that it actually would be a 5-some. Tom would have wanted to play with his father, his brother and son and his mentor Stan Thirsk who passed away last month. With his eyes teary he bid all of us a farewell. It may be your last appearance at The Open Tom, but you will always be remembered. Our Hats off to you!<br />

"I'm not 40 yet. I know some of you guys think I'm buried. But I'm still here in front of you. I'm not done yet." Tiger Woods - at the Press Conference in The Open Championship144th.</div>
<div style="color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-top: 6px;">
We watched tiger at the range practice his long game and then at the pitch and putt area to hone his short game. Then we followed him as he began his round with Matt Kuchar. Some say it's over for Tiger Woods, others say he can still win another major. One thing for sure is when you watch him up close you know that he still has that passion, that desire, that competitive drive to win.</div>

You have to hand it to Jordan Spieth. After winning the John Deere Classic in Illinois late Sunday night he immediately flies off to St Andrews to do a practice round for The Open Championship. Now that's dedication. We were lucky to watch him tee off after lunch today. The sun doesn't set until around 10:30 here in Scotland which gave him more than enough time to practice and finish his round.</div>

And just like that it's June. Half the year has gone by. Where did it go so fast?<br />
A friend reminded me the other day that "Today is the oldest you've ever been and the youngest you'll ever be." If that's the case, then I want to make sure that I make each day count and live each day with gratitude....<br />
<br />
<br />
"What gives me the most hope every day is God's grace; knowing that his grace is going to give me the strength for whatever I face, knowing that nothing is a surprise to God."<br />

Yesterday, just as the sun went down, the sky turned into a lovely orange. Soft rather than fiery. The winds calmed down enough for one last flight of the day. I am always fascinated by this gradual changing of colors in the sky and how the surrounding mountains seem to glow.</div>

Beaune in France is a walled city on a plain by the hills of the Cote d'Or. It is the wine capital of Burgundy. I have always wanted to visit this region because it has quite an offering of gourmet food .... and of course the wine!</div>

Every morning I wake up with an overwhelming gratitude of being alive and well. I never want to take that for granted. <span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><br /><br />My favorite time of the day to shoot is right after sunset. There is this magical light that happens. A golden glow in the sky. In whatever part of the world I have ever been it is always the same. This marvelous light. I saw it again tonight. My son Christian and I trekked Land's ends trail and then stopped at the Sutro Baths near the Cliff House where i set up for this photograph. He puts up with me when I take my time and shoot. Patiently waiting while I take forever putting my filters together and taking picture after picture hoping to have that one photograph that would capture “that” moment.<br />And I am grateful that he is there with me. That I am able to imortalize this moment in a photograph. With him by my side.</span></div>
