Of all the jobs in this world, the job of "Mother" is the hardest and most rewarding. To all my friends and family who are mothers, have a spectacular Mother's Day!

To my Mother, thank you for all that you do, have done and will do. Your example of motherhood has been an inspiration to many, not just to me. The world is certainly a better place because of you. At least I know that my world is.

This is my all time favorite quote and today's post is a great time to share:

To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty,
to find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better,
whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier
because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.

--- Ralph Waldo Emerson
