Mother's Day is an annual springtime
ritual that gives people an opportunity to express their love and gratitude to
the person who has provided both life and lifelong care. However, there are
many kinds of moms, and each may enjoy this special day in her own way. Here's
a look at some ideas for Mother's Day, to help you, or your own mom, make the
most of this important occasion:
Moms of Young Children
If you're the mom of young children, you
will probably receive hand-painted artwork and an attempt at breakfast in bed.
These gifts from your youngsters are memories you will treasure for the rest of
your life. However, your spouse or other family members can assist you in
taking a bit of time for yourself on this special day, so you can enjoy a day
at the spa, a movie with friends or some other activity that allows you to
relax your mind and refresh your spirit. This small amount of "me
time" will help to resume your busy life with new energy and a better
attitude.
Moms of Older Children
When kids are in the middle grades and
teen years, they can take a more active role in Mother's Day preparations,
helping to find a suitable restaurant and purchasing a special gift. These
occasions can be some of the best Mother's Days because it is a time when the
usual, hectic schedule slows for a moment to allow busy families to catch up on
what's going on in their daily lives. Moms can take the opportunity to savor
their children, take photos and have a relaxed day with them, before they
resume their activity-filled schedules.
Moms of Grown Adults
By the time the kids have grown into
adulthood, moms have probably experienced a number of Mother's Days and now
prefer a simpler expression of love and appreciation. Many moms prefer a
growing plant rather than flowers, which will only fade and need throwing out
after a few days. If your mom is a gardener, you can provide something new and
interesting to provide a new challenge. Looking to your mom's hobbies can give
you some ideas for a thoughtful gift that will provide pleasure well beyond the
day itself. Most important is the time you spend with your mom, whether it is
in person or from a distance, because no matter how old you are, you will
always be your mom's baby.
Older Moms
For individuals whose mothers have reached
their golden years, Mother's Days become more precious. It's a good time to
create special memories for them, and for you, by taking a day trip, taking
them to an art museum or show, and generally enjoying the stories and memories
of the past that only they can provide. Mom will enjoy a day like this
immensely, and you will savour the special moments that are irreplaceable in
your life.
Every mom deserves a special Mother's Day,
but whether your children are close by, of far away, knowing you are held
tightly in their hearts in the ultimate gift.
