Don't Forget Mother's Day !

Mother's Day is fast approaching .... Sunday, May 8th.

What do you have planned for the person who brought you into this world?

When was the last time you sat down and wrote a handwritten note to your Mom?

If it's been a while, you might want to start by finding a quotation that expresses how you feel about your Mom. This way you can "get the ball rolling" and then tell her how you feel.

I did some of the work for you ... here are some web sites with quotations related to Mothers or Mother's Day as well as my favorite quotations from these sites:

This site has probably the longest list of quotes that I found including the following really good ones:

"Men are what their mothers made them." --Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Motherhood: All love begins and ends there."-- Robert Browning

Now how about writing to your Mom ! She certainly deserves it!
(And some flowers probably wouldn't hurt either !)

Write On !
