Mother's day

Each day seems the day for someone: be it a birthday, a special day, the day for an health condition, a day for each profession, a day of celebration, a day for being grateful.  My main concern is that the calendar become a little bit crowded.  There is the strategy to choose what to celebrate.  I like to take a neutral stance to all of this.  Yesterday was mother's day.  I got some gifts.  It was nice but I did not reminded anyone.  No expectation.  Of course, I won't refuse a bottle of absinthe.

It is nice to be reminded, on a specific date for mothers, for example.  It should also be the case every days too.  There is a lot of gifts to be given to mothers and other remplacement of moms.  I have not see any books on history of mother's day.  I am just too curious.  Must be more on the story telling side or on the internet, being spead from person to person.  On my personal level, my other problem would be the closeness of my birthday with mother's day.  When I  was born or was younger, it would had been convenient: my own mom could have celebrated mother's day quickly after my birth and think «Well, now I am a mom»

Well, it is all nice.  It could also be a way to talk about moms and all mother figures around the world.  Even if I am not really interested in celebrating mother's day actively, I must admit of certain advantages of being a mother.  Since I had become a mother, I had to find a new balance in my life.  It also made me feel a better creator.  I created life with mu co-parent.  I also get organized.  There are time for children and there are period of time where I can sit down and create something. 

In that area, I feel that I get an improvement.  Now, I can have time and write or do some jewelry or other creating pursuit.  Before having children, I was a bit of a proscratinator.  The syndrome of «I can do it tomorrow» pretty much each day was not a great motivatior.  Now, there are times where I sit down and thinks: «I have to do something because tomorrow, I have an appointment with one kid»  It is as if my children are pushing me to get more structured.

 Certainly, a day for mothers makes me think of my own definition of being a mother.  Each day that have a similar even will do the same: makes me think on a certain topic.  It makes me think from a fresh angle that can be put in good use.  Of course, my experience with being a mother will impact on some aspect of my creativity.  If I write about a character that is a mother, it will be a closer depiction of my reality.  So, happy mothers' day for every mother figures in this world, even if it is a day late.
