Hanging out... literally =)
More photos on my Facebook album here.On this special day, I'd like to post a poem and a story that I got from PravsJ just to remind us all of something that some of us may forgot about... My Mother Taught Me My Mother taught me MEDICINE… My Mother taught me TO THINK AHEAD… My Mother taught me ESP… My Mother taught me TO MEET A CHALLENGE… My Mother taught me HUMOR… My Mother taught me how to BECOME AN ADULT… My Mother taught me about GENETICS… My Mother taught me about my ROOTS… My Mother taught me about the WISDOM of AGE… My Mother taught me about ANTICIPATION… My Mother taught me about RECEIVING… and my all time favorite thing–JUSTICE In between all this, my Mother taught me how to Live! Thank you Mom for all I have learned these years. Give Value To Relationships A man stopped at a flower shop for ordering some flowers to be sent as a gift to his mother who lived two hundred miles away. As he got out of his car he noticed a young girl sitting on the curb sobbing. He asked her what was wrong and she replied, “I wanted to buy a red rose for my mother. But I only have seventy-five cents, and a rose costs two dollars.” The man smiled and said, “Come on in with me. I’ll buy you a rose.” He bought the little girl her rose and ordered his own mother’s flowers. As they were leaving he offered the girl a ride home. She said, “Yes, please! You can take me to my mother.” She directed him to a cemetery, where she placed the rose on a freshly dug grave. The man returned to the flower shop, cancelled the gifting order, picked up a bouquet and drove the two hundred miles to his mother’s house. At times we take many such relationships with our family and friends for granted. Learn to value them. Happy Mothers Day to all those wonderful moms out there! I love you mom!
My Mother taught me LOGIC…
“If you fall off that swing and break your neck, you can’t go to the store with me.”
“If you don’t stop crossing your eyes, they’re going to freeze that way.”
“If you don’t pass your spelling test, you’ll never get a good job!”
“Put your sweater on; don’t you think that I know when you’re cold?”
“What were you thinking? Answer me when I talk to you… Don’t talk back to me!”
“When that lawn mower cuts off your toes, don’t come running to me.”
“If you don’t eat your vegetables, you’ll never grow up.”
“You are just like your father!”
“Do you think you were born in a barn?”
“When you get to be my age, you will understand.”
“Just wait until your father gets home.”
“You are going to get it when we get home.”
“One day you will have kids, and I hope they turn out just like YOU..then you’ll see what it’s like.”
Best Wishes for Mothers Day!
