It has been 10 years since my beautiful mother passed away, and a day does not go by without me thinking of her/ remembering the fun times we had together.
She was such a giving mother. One of the amazing things about her was that she always had time for us !
I am one of 5 daughters- we were born close together - literally one after another - so there is 7 years between the eldest and youngest !
Despite the number of children, despite the fact mum did all the housework alone, despite the fact she had to cook and clean for us all...she always had TIME for us!
We often went for long country walks/ sat on the step at home and just spent time chatting!
Today I counsel many women.....and I am always amazed at the lack of time they have for anything!
Women who have small families ( ususally 2 children) , maids , drivers ......women who do not have to cook / wash/ iron / work....
Yet there is just no time / too much stress and life gets them down...
The children are stressed..and life is just chaos! What is happening today ??
I feel it is time to look at life - look at how we live each day - look at what we give our attention to !
What is our focus today ?
Are we allowing our attention to be pulled away from what really matters in life?
I often ask women - How do you want to be remembered?
Ponder on this !
Being a mother is a precious gift ! So value it and spend time with your children for they are special and they deserve your time !!
Spend time with yourself ! You are special ! Let the externals wait ! Better still ..drop them !
Focus on what is really important in life!
I am so grateful to my mother and father for such a wonderful childhood ! They gave the most precious gift of all - time , attention and LOVE to us all !
With love and blessings
Sally
