HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

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.
