Mother's Day Morning
May 10th 2009 14:09
This is Sunday, May 10, 2009. Mother's Day. It's raining and a little chilly here, but the lilacs make beautiful bouquets in my yard.
This holiday was begun in 1914, the same year my mother was born. Woodrow Wilson made it official.
The florist industry has it's biggest day today, jewelry stores and restaurants do well today, too. (Not all the purchases are made today, of course, but during the previous week). You'd think it would be a little boost for the economy, wouldn't you? I mean, everybody either has a mother or knows one... Grandmothers, aunts, sisters, in-laws, nieces, daughters, friends and neighbors, there are mothers everywhere. It's a good time to take note of them and thank them for all they do. Lots of churches give out flowers to the mothers in the congregation.
Mother's Day isn't a religious holiday, so even Democrats and atheists can celebrate it without stressing over the church and state issues.
So to all the mothers, everywhere, Happy Mother's Day!
