I Can't Thank You Enough

"Mama was my greatest teacher, a teacher of compassion, love and fearlessness. If love is sweet as a flower, then my mother is that sweet flower of love."

I Can't Thank You Enough
Shuttershock

What can I say to you? Oh, Mom. How can I put such immense thankful thoughts into words? How can I put so many grateful years into a collection of sentences?

See the thing is, you deserve the whole wide world and I can't simply put my gratitude into simple paragraphs.

I guess should probably start out by candidly saying, thank you.

Thank you so much.

Thank you for being the most amazing woman in my life. Thank you for all of the guidance and courage you have given me. Thank you for doing all that you have, and so much more. Thank you for all the love and affection. Thank you for the never ending support and acceptance. But most of all, thank you for being my mother.

Without you, I wouldn't be who I am.

You raised me to be the best person I could and can be; a mere reflection of you. It is by the help of your wonderful skills and motherly tendencies that I am where I am, because of you.

Thank you for always putting me before yourself. You are competley unselfish and it takes a real woman to do as such. You constantly think of others and me before you can even put your feet up for the night. Thank you for being selfless.

Thank you for being my best friend. I know I can always count on you to be there for me. Whether you're listening, engaging in my conversation, or guiding me, you always have my back. I will be forever grateful for your never ending support.

I know that whatever we will go through that we will always be mother and daughter. No matter how many arguments, little petty fights, or disagreements, I know that we have such a strong relationship that can conquer anything. A daughter is just a mother's little best friend.

Thank you for taking care of me and always making sure that I'm well. That's just another kind act of your selflessness, but I appreciate it so much.

Above all, thank you for being the best mother I could ask for. I wouldn't have anyone else be my mother. I don't think there is anyone else out there like you. You're so kind, caring, compassionate, and loving. The perfect qualities that make you the most amazing mother out there.

You mean the world to me! You're so wonderful! I can't say that enough.

Thank you, Momma. Thank you for giving me life. Thank you for being my mother. I know it's not easy, but you make it look like you don't even break a sweat.

If I ever become a mother, I hope I'm at least half of what you are. Because even then, I would shine brilliantly under your lessons you've given me.

I love you Momma. Thank you.

It takes such a strong and wonderful woman to be a mother and I'm glad you're mine.

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.
