Mother's Day is quickly approaching.
That means you're about to acknowledge and spend the day with that special woman in your life, who gave birth and sacrificed everything for you. Although Mother's Day is a one day event, you should still take this time to appreciate everything she has ever done for you. She was there to wipe your nose, clean up after you, be there for you when you needed a shoulder to cry on, pack your lunch, and get you ready for your first day of school.
She has been with you every step of the way. Even when you're 22 and still trying to figure out where to go from here, she provides for you.
Your Mother is your home.
She is the safe space, haven and hearth for you to come home to and unwind from all the social anxieties and difficulties you go through. She spends all her time and energy for you, to see you succeed. In essence, she gives her life for you, through and through.
And what do you to acknowledge all the sacrifices you has made for you? Or better yet, what can you do to appreciate all the efforts she has done to see you succeed?
Roses are not enough. Here's a couple of things you can do to appreciate everything your mother has done for you:
1. Tell her you love her.
2. Come up with 101 ways to praise her.
You're incredible. You're fantastic. You're spectacular. You're important. Exceptional. Marvelous. You tried hard. You mean a lot to me. You make me happy. You make me laugh. You brighten my day. You mean the world to me. You're perfect. A big hug. A big kiss.
3. Don't let her work for Mother's Day.
Do it, now! Don't touch!
Washing dishes? Stop what you're doing!
You are not allowed to work on Mother's Day!
4. Go out to dinner or to the movies.
Have a special movie or old-time classic that your Mom likes?
How 'bout some upcoming superhero movies?
5. Cook for her.
6. Let her take a day off from being a Mom.
7. Binge-watch Netflix with her.
Have a favorite season you love to watch? Game of Thrones per chance?
8. Give her a gift that empowers her.
Does your Mom love cooking? Is she having problems with the microwave? Oven? Does she throw all these hidden signs that she's in desperate need of seeing something that gives her power?
9. A toast to Mom Power!
10. Don't dis your mama!
Enjoy Mother's Day with that special mother in your life!
