Mother's Day is Sunday: time
to CELEBRATE the most special people in the world - MOMS!
This month's blog is very simple and from the heart. I have always believed that the hardest yet most rewarding "profession" in the world is being a mother - agree?

I grew up in a large
family, the oldest of 7 children. My youngest sister (on my lap) is only 10-1/2
years behind me - how's that for Baby Boomers!! 50 years later, we are
fortunate that our parents are still with us and doing fine - it has been a fun
ride. Personally, I've been married almost 37 years to the most wonderful woman
in the world and we have two awesome sons (which is plenty for us) - I'm truly
blessed.
When I was young and asked my mom what she wanted for Mother's Day, she would always say "good kids". As the years have gone by, what she appreciates most is quality time with family (individually and at gatherings). I'm sure most moms feel the same way. Mother's Day is the perfect holiday to REACH OUT and appreciate not only moms, but families (yours and others') and friends. Why not make it a habit?

FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
Make a point of
appreciating ALL moms this week. Surprise them by saying "Happy Mother's
Day" out of the blue (yes, even to strangers with kids in the Grocery Store
and other public places) - do it "just because"... Encourage others
in your life to do the same thing! It will make their day and the smiles you
will all get in return will be priceless. Don't stop on Monday just because
Mother's Day is over - why not keep the momentum going throughout the year by
wishing moms everywhere the best... Let's make EVERY day "Happy Mother's
Day" - MOMS DESERVE IT!!!
