1. Recipes for JOY
This is the perfect keepsake to prepare when Mother’s Day is close at hand. Women seem to have a definite sense about what makes life joyful. Ask any woman and she’ll have no problem sharing her secret for happiness. In fact, she’ll be honored that you want to include her wisdom in a family treasure that you will pass to future generations. Ask the mothers in your family to write down their own personal “Recipe for Joy.” Be sure to include favorite teachers, adult friends of the family, or neighbors you are close to. This can be a fun family project, with each person responsible for asking, and reminding, different people.
2. LIGHT up your HOME with JOY
Attitudes are habits we learn as we grow up. You can help your children develop an optimistic attitude by teaching them the habit of focusing on the good things in life. Our thoughts are more powerful than we can imagine. If we think negative thoughts, we have negative interactions with people, who respond negatively in return. When we choose to look for the good in people or situations, we find it, and more good things will happen to us. Give your children a puzzle piece - to fill in the happy home picture - every time they find something good in a not-so-great situation. Let them know that an optimistic attitude lights up your home and fills it with joy.
3. My Perfect MOTHER'S Day
More often than not, mothers get someone else’s idea of a perfect Mother’s Day, instead of their own. Not because the family doesn’t care or doesn’t try, which they do. The truth is nothing would make them happier than to give you exactly what you want. They just don’t know what that is. So, Mom, let’s help them out. Instead of 3 hours at the mall that ends up in flowers or chocolates, tell them what your perfect Mother’s Day looks like. Sleep in till 10. Breakfast in bed. An afternoon at the movies with a friend, dinner you don’t make, on dishes you don’t do. A hot bath with candles and, most importantly, a full day of not doing ANYTHING for ANYBODY.
