This year Mother’s Day fell on 5th February 2013

It really takes nothing to make your Mommy happy. It doesn’t take a Mother’s Day to do so either. 

For all those young and middle-aged Mommies who have somehow not managed to give time to their Mommies, here’s a little story. A real one.  

The other day I took my Mommy out to a movie. Frankly, I never thought she’d want to see that movie, but nevertheless I took the chance. 

We went for a noon show (we never do that), watched the movie and then went to our respective homes.

But I was on top of the world that day. I was so happy. Not just because the movie was awesome, but because I shared that good piece of art (the movie) with my Mom. I spent 3 hours with just her. We could not chat much as we were busy watching the movie, but still it was a rare joy. 

I wondered why I didn’t do it often- spend time with her I mean. 

Because my children and husband are my priority now? 

Or because I don’t owe anything to her?

Or is it because I feel there are far more things that take precedence over ‘spending time with my Mom’? 

It’s no big deal really to take out about 3 hours in a month (in 3 months at least?) for her – your mother. 

Take her out to a movie, lunch or shopping, even window shopping or just a stroll in the park. 

You will love it when you see here so happy. You will love it when you yourself feel so happy!

From one Happimommy to another! Cheers!
