I think of my own mom who taught me so much and that I've taken on and continued teaching to my own children. Her creative skills and resourcefulness, I'm definitely not as skilled a home cook as she is but when pressed to can also whip up a batch of cookies or general meals.
Looking forward to her arrival from Samoa in a couple of days time and remembering the days that my dad would get us up early to make breakfast for her but then to also go to visit my grandmother to wish her a special day before she would go to church.
It's these special days that I think we owe it to ourselves to make it special for those who often sacrificed so much for us. I think of the times that my own mother made sure that I was okay as a kid with my aversion to the smell of petrol and often times I'd get carsick/boatsick/airsick and she was always there for me.
As mothers we also need to take time out of often busy roles as 'contemporary' mums to take a breather, a walk and enjoy a sunrise, a sunset, meditate and just enjoy the day without the rigours of pressing 'to do lists'. Even I need to take heed of my own advice to others.
May God Bless you all mum's and give you all and grant you a special day that is well deserved...
