I learned a lot from my mother and sometimes I wish I had listen to her more. I never realize how smart my mother was until I was grown and a mother myself. My mother has been gone for many years and I still miss her and she was one smart women. I wish she was with me now so I could tell her so.Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06924888528166831610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-353479285769121899.post-46485839243237457802009-03-22T19:48:00.000-04:002009-03-22T19:48:00.000-04:00Happy Mothering Sunday!

My mother taught me so many things I can't list only one here so I'll let it go. But one of the most important things about my mom is that she's one of my best friends, my daughter being another. :-)<BR/><BR/>JeanmarieJeanmarie Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13726780436558580641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-353479285769121899.post-55478462507096619802009-03-22T16:38:00.000-04:002009-03-22T16:38:00.000-04:00Loved the post and a Happy Mothering Sunday to all...Loved the post and a Happy Mothering Sunday to all. My mother will be 67 her birthday this year. I can honestly say she has taught me to do what you have to do to survive. People might not understand the decisions you are making but you don't need to worry about them. You need to follow your own heart and conscious. Have a great day.housemouse88https://www.blogger.com/profile/06638977118552266722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-353479285769121899.post-79115668810218635292009-03-22T16:28:00.000-04:002009-03-22T16:28:00.000-04:00Hi Maureen,Spending time with family is oh so impo...Hi Maureen,<BR/><BR/>Spending time with family is oh so important.

We had many differences but I believe I was a lot like here also. She taught me to meet obstacles head on; never to shy away. She taught me that faith is so important in one's life and she lived it.robynlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03250071917966470701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-353479285769121899.post-82907953209961886522009-03-22T12:07:00.000-04:002009-03-22T12:07:00.000-04:00Hannah, what a nice and thought-provoking post.

Unlike the U.S.'s Mother's Day, Mothering Sunday is much more religious....where people should attend their 'mother church,' instead of the one they may be attending at present. Interesting holiday, with a long history.<BR/><BR/>My mother taught that it's okay to be selfish once in a while....that's an important lesson women need to learn. Family needs to be first, but women do it all, and once in a while, we just need to do something just for ourselves.<BR/><BR/>Anna KathrynAnna Kathryn Lanierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10607469543348819190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-353479285769121899.post-76418179973471980732009-03-22T07:26:00.000-04:002009-03-22T07:26:00.000-04:00Happy Mothering Sunday to everyone in the UK.

I didn't realize how much I had learned from my mother until I was raising my own children but I think the most important thing my mother taught me was to spend as much time as you can with your children because the time will come when they are not around all the time.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16392692656456938856noreply@blogger.com
