Mother's Day

I did a quick google search this morning. I typed in: something nice I can do for my husband on Mother's Day. I obviously came up with nothing relevant. So, I used googles advanced search tools, and looked for the same search query under "most recent" and "within the last 24 hours" (as this usually pulls search results more from recent blogs or "tweets"). Still no relevant results.

You may be thinking "Of course you can't find anything relevant. Why would you search that? Isn't Mother's Day for Moms?"

Yes. Mother's day is a day for Mom's. For children, young and old, to acknowledge their Mother's for all the things our Mom's have done, and continue to do, for us.

The problem with Mother's Day is in the expectations we,  as mother's,  set for our husbands and children for this day. In the past,  I have found myself to have been disappointed on mother's day. Usually from the lack of acknowledgement of this "special" day, from my husband and children.

As the first one to rise this morning. I had an hour of the day alone to read and reflect. The section of the book I happened to read this morning spoke about selfishness. It struck me that, my disappointment in my husband and/or children for their lack of acknowledgement of me on Mother's day is very selfish of me.

Today I will chose to not be selfish. I will chose to enjoy this day, as any other Sunday, with my husband and children. I am thankful to have them. Going one step further, I am going to do something for them today. It will be something small, maybe baking cookies with my girls and making my husband his favorite  dinner, but it will be something for them.  After all, I wouldn't be a mother without them, would I? :)

Lot's of Love to all the Mother's out there today! Have a wonderful day, and enjoy your family!
