I hope these thoughts give you something to ponder while you enjoy your morning beverage. As you go about your day, I invite you to take some time to reflect on your observations. Consider if there’s anything you can do to enhance your life, such as looking into the mirror and appreciating yourself. You may also find a way to make the world more beautiful with a simple act of kindness. Perhaps you can hold the door open without expecting a thank you. You may also want to consider if you have a gift to share with the world. Maybe you have some untapped talent you regret wasting, as we sometimes do with unused towels or our good china. I hope you find them enjoyable and return for more tomorrow.
Mother
In a mother’s arm
There should be no harm
In a mother’s word
There should be no discord
In a mother’s motivation
There should be no castration
In a mother’s love
There should be no sort of
Your fate should not be your mother’s hate.
Not all women are born to be mothers, and not all mothers should be mothers.
Most people have wonderful moms, and those moms often see children who are not theirs but can see that they need a mother. Therefore, they step in.
There are many reasons a mother may not be identified as one of those wonderful moms.
Some did not have a good role model. Some are selfish. Some may want to be but cannot stand up to the duties of being a mother.
No matter the reason, the cycle needs to end with her. There is a point in life, whether your mom is good or not, that you know right from wrong. As a result, continuing to blame her for not being able to love like most mothers do is unsuitable for you and does not help her.
She probably realizes she was not good at that job and may have regrets. Therefore, the best thing for both of you is to forgive and move on. That does not mean you have to allow her to remain in your life, but if you have the heart to do so, do not let the past change who you want to be.
I forgave my mother because it was suitable for me. While I did what I could for her at the end of her life, such as taking her for her cancer treatments, I never welcomed her back into my life. I had mourned her long before her death, so while I did love her, it was more a sense of responsibility.
Give thanks to her for giving you life, and forgive her. Then, decide what is best for you now.
Today’s challenge:
Forgive those who may have harmed your perspective of who you are, and release that perspective now.
