Hug your Mom today

Moms are the best!  They encourage us when we’re down and they’re there for us when we need them the most.  It’s a good day to hug your Mom today!

Life

Your mother gave you life – without her (and your Dad), you wouldn’t be here.  For that reason alone, you should feel grateful that you are alive.  Otherwise, you wouldn’t have ever experienced anything:

• Going to school and making friends
• Playing sports or an instrument (or any activity)
• Playing on the swing set, being at the playground
• Building a volcano for a science project
• Making cookies with Mom
• Your first day of school
• Your last day of school – like for winter or summer break or graduating!
• Vacations!
• Falling in love
• Starting a family
• Having a dog or other pet
• Playing dress up

That is part of life and we have Mom to thank for that!

Mother’s Day

Mother’s day is coming up and it’s not too early to hug your Mom today – do it today before it’s too late.  A friend of mine recently lost their mother unexpectedly.  So, we never know when the time will come but when it does, you’ll be glad that you took the time to hug your Mom today.  Be grateful everyday for the life you were given.  Have appreciation for her – even if you didn’t have the type of mom that was always there for you – she still gave you life.  Don’t have regrets.  No one is perfect.

Happiness

What you do with your life is up to you.  So, even if there are things you needed to get past, you still have that opportunity.   Not everyone does.  Your happiness is in your control.  The better outlook you have, the happier you will be.  You make that choice.  This not only brings more joy into your life but it helps how we feel and look.  If you choose to be happy and to celebrate the good things without looking back at the bad things, you’ll shine.  Your face will light up and those worry lines will disappear.

When you do this, you start taking better care of yourself and it will make you even happier.  Life is too short to let it pass you by.  Celebrate Mom, celebrate Life, celebrate You!  You are worth it!  Happiness and the mind go hand in hand, change your life today and give Mom a hug.
