The exhausted mother Once upon a time, there was an exhausted mother. Mother spent each and every day providing for the needs of her family. She took care of everything: preparing children for school, setting the table for breakfast, making sure everything was clean and tidy ... and in addition to all that, worked full time at a bookstore to provide for the family. Many nights she would go to bed so tired and next day wouldn't even remember falling asleep. In the mornings, she would wake torn away from her deep dreams she wanted to continue in. But one morning, while she slept, mother felt there was something different. The alarm clock seemed nicer, as if to wake her gently. When she got up, a warm bath was waiting for her in the bathroom; steam fogged the mirror from the hot, strawberry scented bath that had been run for her. Rose petals were floating in her bath like lily pads for ladies. After her heavenly bath, a clean and warm a cotton towel was ready for her, along with a sumptuous soft and new bathrobe. When she reached the kitchen, the children were all dressed up and calm while her husband; busy at the stove. Toast, juice, fresh fruit, delicious cakes and pastries... She could not believe it! Her entire family wished her in harmony a "Happy Mother's Day!" and gave her a huge bouquet of colorful roses and little gifts made by the children. "We can do what you want today, it's your day, and we want you to know how important you are to us and how much we love you!" Her heart swelled with gratitude, mother took all her children and her husband in her arms and told them how much she loved them and felt the strong love between them. She felt an infinite amount of energy. Since that day, when she feels exhausted, mother has only to relive this scene and always regains that infinite energy coming from love. Happy Mother's Day! Mothers are fairies that look to those they love and fulfill all their good wishes with mountains of love.
