I Look at it this way....EVERYDAY is Mother's Day--Hmmmph!

NewLIFEstyle4ME

Just a non-scale victory on so-called "Mother's Day". I say EVERYDAY is Mother's Day--around here anyway...I don't want to observe one day per year for my children and husband to recognize me being a Mother...but EVERYDAY is Mother's Day around here---365/24X7!

For others who choose to observe this one day--terrific--good for you, but I want to speak to those who are feeling sad, mad or bad because this day brings stress, mess, heartache and woe. Don't buy the hype--being a mother is one of the hardest and most greatest occupation/position in this ole world and honey....one day ain't cutting it--for me it isn't anyway....As a mother, I expect to be honored and appreciated every single solitary day of the year, period. Not allowing society to dictate to me and mine when give love, honor, gifts, thanks, etc.

Have you noticed that just about EVERY month, there is some "holiday" special occasion or "day" that causes you undo stress and anxiety...perhaps going into debt or spending monies that you don't have to impress people that you don't like or who don't like you--just about EVERY Month! Some "holiday" where society has/is dictating that if you don't buy or receive some special gift or acknowledgement--you'll feel sad, mad or bad, rejected or unfulfilled if people don't

Have you noticed that many of these "holidays" special times are (or can be) more often than NOT a day of depression, stress, mess, muss and fuss instead of joy and gratefulness? What we've/I've done is just said NO! I don't want society telling me/dictating to me when to dress up and buy candy or give out goodies and treats to my children or others (OCTOBER Halloween), get together with family and friends to be "grateful and thankful"( NOVEMBER--Thanksgiving), but people gifts and expect them in return because it's supposedly someone's birthday (not yours, but someone else--DECEMBER/Christmas), buying expensive outfits to bring in a "New Year in the dead of winter--when everything is dead/sleep instead of springtime, when everything in NEW and ALIVE(JANUARY/New Year), buying diamonds and goodies to let your loved one know you love them (FEBRUARY/Valentine's Day), Getting drunk and celebrating (MARCH, St. Patrick's Day), A day to play pranks and jokes on someone (APRIL--April fool's Day), getting together with your mother/wife to let her know how special she is and spending money and time with her--not because you want to...but because society commands us to/MAY--Mother's Day) JUNE/Father's Day--say thing.....on and on--just days and another day of mass consumerism, false guilt and forced thanks/appreciation---uhhhh, NO THANKS!

Well, I'm here to tell you not everyone buys into the "game"...if you are a mother...you deserve honor, appreciation EVERYDAY--just because of your position--hard job, sacrifice...not 1 measly day of the year but everyday...yep EVERYDAY is Mother's Day around here--hmmmmph! Appreciate your wife/mother EVERYDAY....how much love, honor, respect and recognition I/we will get and give when we live this thing EVERYDAY, instead of one day---My hubby and children LOVE this way of thinking and living--EVERYONE I say this too (women) agree and this is just another perspective to consider or not...
