MOTHER'S DAY

As long as most of us can remember, we have celebrated Mother's Day. It is honored on the second Sunday in May and has been "official" here in the USA since 1908. But is Mother's day really only ONE day each year? Whether you gave birth to a child or children, are an Aunt, Sister, Dear Friend of just someone who knows how to take care of everyone else, this day of celebration is for you.

In our world today, many Mother's have been called upon to be a nurse, teacher, caregiver, friend, neighbor or even just a person who smiles at a stranger when visiting the grocery store or driving on a busy street, allowing someone to turn the corner first, change lanes on a busy street or just be kinder than normal.

As we approach this Sunday, May 10th, if your Mother is still here on earth with you, give her a special gift.....a little extra time on the phone, a helping hand with a project she cannot quite seem to finish or just let her know you care....in the best way you know how. Write her a "thank you" note. We often take things and people for granted and especially our Mother's.

If your Mother has passed on, pause on Sunday and thank her for all she gave to you and all she sacrificed. As we get older, our Mother's seem to get smarter with each passing day. And, when your child or grandchild brings you a dandelion, a weed or a rock from the driveway, let him/her know it is the most beautiful gift you ever received....because to that little one, it most surely is given from the heart.

So, celebrate Mother's Day........no matter where you are, no matter where you Mother might be. She will appreciate your kind thoughts and gestures.....and if you have a few extra minutes next week, next month, next whatever, celebrate Mother's Day each and every day.
