Mother's Day Thoughts

Mother's Day is generally a pleasant concept, but it can be dangerous, too. We often receive from media and other sources such a distorted view of mothers and how they should be appreciated on this day. Flowers and chocolates are nice, but how many mothers wouldn't just prefer to have their house actually clean on that day? Really clean (not just what children and fathers consider clean). Or have their children not fight? Or just be appreciated for who they are instead of given some treacly card in honor of the mythical perfect mother?

Happy Mother's Day to every mother and mothering woman out there! You are appreciated for all the good you do and are!!
