The compassion, tenderness, loyalty and LOVE of a Mother

Today is a time to thank and recognize all the mothers that have blessed our lives.  We were all born and raised by and/or influenced by a mother figure! The definition of a mom is broad and rightfully so.  There are mothers of all types in our lives and they exist this way in part to help teach us what we need to learn this life time!!  For some it is a mother, a grandmother or a mother figure but remember there usually is a mother figure in our lives that we should thank! Please note that being a mother is more than just a biological thing.  A Mother figure in your life that is nurturing, compassionate and loving needs to be acknowledge not only today but every day because there may not be another time to say it!

Our others are not only the ones who gave us life, they are also our teacher to help us learn right from wrong and influence us everyday of our lives for many years. A mother forgives us for our mistakes, teaches us to stand up for what we believe in and shows us right from wrong. A mother wipes tears from our face and helps a smile appear at a moment’s notice.  A mother, any mother figure, gives us life with her tenderness and nourishment with her love from the heart! A mother shares with us while healing us with her wisdom. A mother figure is can show the true definition of LOVE.

Here’s another part of this “Mother” deal…Being a mother is not only the hardest job in the world it is also the most rewarding. A mother gives of herself knowing that at some point in their child’s life her wisdom will move from her world to her child’s and hopefully on to the next generation after that … a legacy of sorts (wait till you read my blog on legacy’s!) It’s kind of cool that we learn important things from mother figures, but remember, that lessons have probably been passed down from many generations of incredible woman!

Oh, and let’s not forget there are spiritual mothers as well! We should all thank Mother Earth for her blessings in all of our lives!  Mother Earth gives us a bounty of things daily through nature and the beauty of this planet.

In closing I would like to thank my mother and grandmother, who taught me a plethora of things, and to all the mother figures in my life…. Thank you for you have made a difference in molding me as well!!and to my kids… thank you for teaching me the true definition of unconditional love!

Peace out!
