Poem for Today ~ To My Mother

To My Mother

Christina Rosetti

To-day’s your natal day;
   Sweet flowers I bring:
Mother, accept, I pray
   My offering.

And may you happy live,
   And long us bless;
Receiving as you give
   Great happiness.

Feeling Good Tip for Today ~ Mom Makes Me Smile

Every time I think of my mom, I smile. She’s been gone a while, but the things she taught me have stayed with me.

Here are a few of the things my mom taught me.

      1. My mom taught me to pray.
      2. My mom taught me to respect and treat women with dignity.
      3. My mom taught me to be kind to everyone no matter their station in life.
      4. My mom taught me to be hospitable to all who walked through the door.
      5. My mom taught me that often the best advice was given softly.

What did your mom teach you? What memories of your mom make you smile?

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY, MOM

Joke of the Day

Pete: “That’s too bad.”

Positive Thought of the Day ~ Surprise Yourself

“If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.”

Vincent Van Gogh
NOTE: Still the negative voices. Ignore them when they scream at you. Act like the salmon who swim upstream to spawn. Put your face into the wind and keep moving. Nothing can stop you from chasing your dream if you keep chasing it. Who knows, one day you may surprise yourself and all the doubters.
