Mum's the Word

Today is the day that we celebrate our mothers. Personally, I like mine, but I know that's not the case with everyone. Sometimes, this could be a legitimate beef that the person has, other times, it is just completely invented. The thing is, our mothers play a pretty big role in our lives, even if they aren't around. The provide guidance on how a woman should act to their daughters, and usually serve as a base template for loves in the lives of their sons. Ok, so I don't know if I fully believe that second one. None of the girls I've been interested in are really anything like my mother. Either way, moms are important. Now, this shouldn't be confused for thinking that moms are all good. I know of plenty that are absolutely horrible. However, even if she is a negative influence on your life, she was still an influence. So take a moment today to think about how your mother has affected your life. Was it good? Was it bad? How will you use what you've learned from your mother to become a better person?
