soupornuts is moving!!! In order to have more control over my blog (how it looks, plugins, etc.) I have decided to move soupornuts.wordpress.com to soupornuts.com. When you come to soupornuts.com, you will see my new postings along with updated and edited versions of most of my old articles. Don’t panic if the site looks different the first couple of times you visit. I am trying different themes to see which I prefer.
Today is Mother’s Day and mothers everywhere are remembering the day, hour, minute and second that each of their children entered the world. Our mothers brought us into this world, fed us, clothed us, hugged us, loved us, taught us, disciplined us, nurtured us, read to us, chauffeured us, waited for us, worried about us, advised us, helped us, loaned us money, preached to us, cried with us, cried for us, cried about us, coddled us, pushed us, held us, comforted us, sang to us, rocked us and much, much more.
Regardless of how you feel about your mother, you would not be here without her and you would not be you without her. One half of your genes are derived from her. Yes, you are one half of your mother. Whether we like to admit it or not, we are what and who we are because of or in spite of our mothers.
Stop whatever you are doing and call or go and visit your mother today. If you have children then you can relate to the message that I am trying to get across. Call her. Tell her you love her and that she is special. One day you won’t have the opportunity. Don’t live to regret missed chances.
Remember, you did not come with a handbook. She did the best she could and she will always love you.
