Appreciate Your Mom This Mother’s Day

     I’d like to dedicate this short blog to my loving mother.  She’s done a lot for me and my family, and I wouldn’t be the person I am today without her in my life.  I appreciate everything she has done for me and more, and I hope I can be as great of a parent as she is.  Thank you, mummykinz!
     If you are like me, you appreciate all your mother has done for you; the long nights helping with homework, the meals she cooked, etc.  This was all out of the kindness of her heart.  They deserve much more praise than a single day, but Mother’s Day is a reminder to do so. 
 
     Don’t forget to give them a gift, even if it is something small.  Moms generally do not care what the gift is.  It is the meaning behind the gift that matters.  They just want to know you are thinking of them and appreciate their hard work.  Taking them out to a nice dinner, doing their work around the house, or buying them flowers and chocolates are all great ideas.  They do so much and ask for so little, so do what you can to give back this Mother’s Day.
     Mother’s go through Hell for their families.  We should remember what they do to give us a better life.  Although Mother’s Day is close to an end, it does not mean your appreciation should dissipate.  Thank your mother every chance you get and make them know you are appreciative.  Spend time with them and care for them like they have cared for you.  They deserve that and more.

Three Life-Long Lessons to Remember #2

     Do you need a reminder of what is important in life?  How about the proper way to handle a situation when feeling angry or stressed?  If so, you have come to the right place.  If you know these bits of information already, just remember its important to be reminded every now and again.  So, without further adieu, here are three life-long lessons to remember #2. 1. Money Isn’t Everything      Wouldn’t it be nice if tomorrow, you won the lottery?   The sheer joy you’d feel would probably be something you’ve never experienced before.   What would you do with the money: buy a house, go on an exotic vacation, quit your job?   When this type of pleasure flows over you, the possibilities feel endless.   No matter what you do, being financially free would make you happy, at least for a while.   Eventually, you would want something more than just financial freedom.   Having money is great, but what ...

The Meaning of Thanksgiving - a Few Words to Remember

     Tonight's blog will be shorter than usual due to Thanksgiving, but I still wanted to leave you guys with a few things to remember.  Thanksgiving, or any holiday for that matter, is about family, friends, and making memories, wouldn't you agree?  Personally, I love being able to see my extended family, even if it's for a short while.  The holiday season is, to some, the only time they are able to get together with family and enjoy their company.  Sometimes we need to be reminded of this, so we remember to enjoy the time spent together.  Even if you do not get along with some of your family members, times like these are perfect for making amends if possible.  Do you have any memories like this?  If so, I would love to hear them in the comments.  Overall, remember that Thanksgiving is more than just about eating but sharing a moment with those you love.  Happy Thanksgiving everybody and I hope your day is filled with food, fa...

The Importance of Giving PT.2 - the Dos and Don'Ts

     Should we expect to be praised for our deeds or to receive nothing in return?  Does ego play a role in generosity or is humbleness a necessary mindset?  A year ago, we talked about the importance of giving and how beneficial it is to both the giver and the receiver (Link here if interested:  https://scanlonblogs.blogspot.com/2018/11/blog-8-giving.html ).  We also talked about how happiness comes from giving and helping others and how material wealth only goes so far.  What we did not discuss is what we should anticipate and the proper way to behave throughout the process.  The art of giving involves understanding the dos and don'ts based on the situation at hand.  Not every instance of generosity will include the same factors as the previous one.      Do you believe kindness should be met with a reward?  I personally believe it depends on the situation, but we should never expect to be rewarded.  If you g...
