Make every day a mother's day!
The word mother and mothers day are simple, yet powerful little
words that you hear all the time especially so around the time
of mothers day when everyone seem to be scrambling for ideas to
say thank you, you are surely loved and you are appreciated all
over again.
But if you would just take time out, you would realize that
useful hints were probably being dropped all alone and
throughout the year. In fact, with that special day being only a
few weeks away, some of your thoughts at this time can range
anywhere from what are you going to do for your mother, spouse
or other loved one to should it be a product gift or something
more personal. If it is the product route, how can it be made
more personalized? If it is the gift of time, how can it be made
more personal?
Mothers Day for some will be welcomed with feelings of
excitement while for others it may be a day of mixed feelings
especially so if the mother you will honor has lost a child to
tragedy. So that is why whenever you wish to honor someone in
your own little way, you should consider where that person may
be in their life and then the event. Many people say that it's
the thought that counts and yes that's a very good point but so
is too know a person and mother's day is no exception.
To give you some examples, consider a single mother who's been
struggling to raise her children and doing it all alone in every
sense of the word, what would make her day on mother's day? What
about a seventy-two year old mother who has raised her children
but suddenly took on the new responsibilities of raising her
grand children, what would she possibly want or deserve?
Sure a bouquet of flowers or some other last minute gift would
be nice and probably get you off the hook but what would that
mother really want to do for that special day? Would she want to
spend her day filled with family and special friends or have a
day of being responsibility free? If you were in that person's
shoes, which would you hope that someone would honor you with
for mother's day?
You see mothers day or any other day can be made more personal
when you put some careful thought into your gift idea. What else
would that mother enjoy? What has she wanted to do for a long
time? What has she not gotten to experience in her lifetime? How
can you really show her she is appreciated?
Even a gift that is accompanied with a carefully written letter
or note with meaning can put a smile on a mother's face! Yes, I
know this will not work for all moms but that's why in the
article it says that YOU need to really know that person. So
please just remember it really is the thought that counts
especially when you did take some time out to put some thought
into your mother's day gift.
Oh, one last thing, I invite you to help every day become a
Mother's Day. By the way moms, it is ok to drop hints about how
you would like to spend your special day and with hope, your
spouse, partner, or other loved one will graciously honor your
small request. After all, mother's day on the calendar only
comes once a year.
