ANOTHER GREAT QUOTE ABOUT MOM
“Mother love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible.”
~Marion C. Garretty,
quoted in ‘A Little Spoonful of Chicken Soup for the Mother’s Soul’
A GREAT COMEBACK LINE
Springtime has really come to DC. It has been beautiful this week.
So my son and I… and the jogging stroller, walked in to downtown Bethesda. My husband drove home from work and met up with us at Austin Grill for a spontaneous weeknight dinner out…
which I try to plan as often as I can.
Our waiter had on a T-shirt that said, ‘WILLIE’.
He was a good waiter and seemed nice so I said,
“Is your name Willie?”
As soon as the words came out of my mouth I noticed that just about all the waiters and bartenders were wearing some sort of T-shirt dedicated to Willie Nelson.
“No, my name is Chris… If my name was Willie, I wouldn’t wear this T-shirt.”
THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING A MOTHER
“The formative period for building character for eternity is in the nursery. The mother is queen of that realm and sways a scepter more potent than that of kings or priests”.
~Author Unknown
A MOTHER’S LOVE
“When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child”.
~Sophia Loren
DON’T WORRY
“Don’t worry about the world coming to an end today.
It’s already tomorrow in Australia.”
-Charles Schulz
Where would we be without the sanity and love of ‘Peanuts’ ?
ANOTHER GUY WHO LOVED HIS MOM
“My mother had a slender, small body, but a large heart – a heart so large that everybody’s joys found welcome in it, and hospitable accommodation.”
~Mark Twain
MOMS MAKE THE MAN
“Men are what their mothers made them.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Boys need instruction, leadership and a good model to follow.
They also need kindness, love and comfort.
No matter how old our ‘little boys’ get, they will always remember-
hugs we give them, bandages we apply, our laps to sit on, encouraging words and knowing that they are great ‘just the way they are’.
INVEST TIME
“The future destiny of a child is always the work of the mother.”
-Napoleon Bonaparte
The best gift we can give our children is our time.
ANOTHER GUY WHO LOVED HIS MOM
President’s Day is upon us…
So here is another great quote from a President about his Mom.
“No one in the world can take the place of your mother. Right or wrong, from her viewpoint you are always right. She may scold you for little things, but never for the big ones.”
– Harry Truman
THE ‘FIRST MOTHER’
President’s Day is coming up.
How appropriate to highlight what our First President said of his mother…
“My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her.”
– George Washington
