Let's Talk About Words

       When I was little, I expected my   Mother  to be perfect and know all of the answers. I am sure that my own daughter's felt that way about me growing up as well. Then as they got older and realized that I made mistakes and messed up at times, it probably made them a little angry and upset. It is difficult to understand that Mom's are human and capable of being wrong, yet as a  Mother  I gave everything I had for my girls and would have done anything for them. Mother's are not perfect, but we do do the best that we can with what we know at that time in our lives. I am grateful for a day that celebrates Mother's and gives us all a day to say thanks. Happy Mother's Day ! https://twitter.com/SchulhofSusan https://www.facebook.com/susanmarie.schulhof.7

"A man can get discouraged many times, but he is not a failure  until he begins to blame somebody else and stops trying." -John Burroughs    This is a perfect quote for Mother's Day since it is one of the most important lessons that I try to impart on my three daughters. I have had much success in my life, yet also many "so called" failures. All of the good and bad has lead me to be the person that I am today, so nothing in my life has been a defeat. I will keep trying to reach for my goals and passions. If I do not succeed at times, I will learn from it and not blame others.     Author Susan Marie Schulhof          http://susanmarieschulhof.blogspot.com
