MOTHER'S

Okay, my goal was to post each month for this year and my time is almost up for the month of May. I should have posted this on Mother's Day, but I was busy. One thing I learned this year on Mother's Day is that this day is not necessarily a day off, it's a day we get to reflect on the joys of motherhood. If we view Mother's Day as a day off we might end up being grumpy most of the day, so just remember next year, that it's a day to be grateful for the opportunity we have to be mother's.
One of my favorite books on motherhood is A Joyful Mother of Children, by Linda J. Eyre.
Here is a beautiful tribute to women from Elder Maxwell‏... you can view on YouTube...
Please continue to do a wonderful job, Mother's you are needed and loved!

That's a good perspective to have, I'll have to try that for next year because I was grumpy when no one did anything or let me have a day off this year. Aren't I supposed to be treated like a queen? ha,ha!! I'm going to read that book you recommended. I've been reading the author's daughters blog lately and she seems like such a great person. I'm sure her mom has something to do with it so I look forward to learning from her. Thanks for the recommendation!
