Celebrating an Unbreakable Bond that Sets You Free – MOTHER’S DAY!

Mother’s Day is here! This Sunday, the 10th of May, take a breather from your speeding lives of deadlines, goals, and to-do lists to acknowledge and honor the most consistent and constructive presence in your life. She is the one woman quintessentially indispensable to your life and journey of growth. She was there, present for all your milestones right from the first one. She was there when you opened your eyes to this life for the first time. She was there when you first smiled. She was there when you took in your first speck of food – your first sip, your first bite. She was watching over you keenly when you first crawled and when you first stood up. Your watchful partner was there by your side when you took your first step. And so you grew under the gaze of her perceptive eyes. Walking became running and jumping and soon you were dancing. As you progressed from being a pint sized bundle of joy to a full grown adult she shared each moment and emotion with you – ecstatic at your victories, crestfallen at your falls. You know your mother is the Rock of Gibraltar you can always count on – your best friend, and your guiding light.

 

Just one day?

One day in the year is too small an amount of time to celebrate the extraordinary and magical bond that connects forever, a mother and a child. While motherhood, the mother-child connection, and the role of the mother must be appreciated and celebrated every single day of the calendar year, it is nice and effective to have one symbolic day to commemorate the contribution of all the world’s wonderful mothers to the world we live in and life itself.

 

How it all began …

Looking back at the beginnings we see that Mother’s Day was first celebrated in the United States in early 20th century. It all started when a woman called Anna Jarvis first held a memorial for her mother in West Virginia. Anna’s mother had been a peace activist and Anna wanted to continue her work and demarcate a day to remember and salute mothers. This notion met with some opposition initially but eventually saw success and today, Mother’s Day is celebrated all over the world on the second Sunday in May. Since the beginning carnations have been the traditional flowers of choice as gifts for Mother’s Day.

 

Expressing with gifts

Though flowers in all their pristine glory make heartwarming gifts full of genuine feeling for this special day, don’t forget that Mother’s Day is a once in a year affair – so don’t leave any stone unturned to convey your heartfelt sentiments to the most important woman in your life, your mother. There is a host of gift ideas to choose from. It is ideal to combine homemade and handmade gifts with purchased ones. No matter how exquisite a piece of jewelry you may have chosen for her, a handwritten note full of authentic feelings will surely leave your mother gleaming and feeling special for days and not only that – she will cherish it all for life. Among food items, your mother’s favorite brand of chocolates, candy, or cookies can be a time tested and always apt gift idea.
