Dear mama, you are appreciated.

7 Things We Forget To Thank Our Moms For
The Odyssey Online

We can always count on our moms to be there for us. Although it's hard to show our appreciation for all that they do, Mothers Day is a chance to remind them just how much they mean to us. Thanks again mom, for being my best friend, biggest supporter, greatest teacher and number one fan all in one.

1. Thank you for being life’s best role model.

When I was little, I looked up to you as my hero. Now, you will forever be one of my biggest role models. Your strength, power and wisdom have always inspired me to be the best that I can be, and hopefully one day I'll be half as good as a mom as you were to me!

2. Thank you for forgiving me no matter what.

I know that I can be a pain sometimes, and I do things that can drive you utterly insane, but at the end of the day you’re always there for me. I can’t tell you how thankful I am for always knowing you'll be by my side. Even if it’s because I’m your child and you feel like you have to be, just know I appreciate it either way.

3. Thank you for home cooked meals.

The one thing I quickly learned never to take for granted. After many kitchen mishaps and chaotic grocery runs I realized there’s nothing better than coming home to a home cooked meal. Not to mention, everything tastes better when mom makes it.

4. Thank you for always picking up your phone.

Whether it’s an emergency or simply calling to complain about my day, I know I can rely on you to answer on the other end. And yes, I’ll try harder to answer my phone, too.

5. Thank you for taking care of me when I’m sick.

The only thing I need when I fall ill, besides Advil and my own bed, is my mom. Your comfort and care will always be the greatest cure when making me feel better, and I don’t think that’s something that will ever change.

6. Thank you for putting up with my attitude.

I know that I can take advantage of your kindness and take my frustrations out on you. Just know that I don't mean to make you feel bad, and no, I do not know where I got this attitude from either.

7. Thank you for knowing what’s best for me.

There’s nothing like a mother’s instinct when knowing what’s best for her child. Although I may not always follow your advice, you have always stuck by my side and supported me, and I am grateful that I will always have someone there looking out for me.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
