Mummy's advice.....like soothing balm to a wound.
I love the sense of security her words instill in me. Nothing is too complicated for her. She systematically talks me through whatever situation I find myself struggling with.
I trust her and not just because she's my mother but because her words are laced with wisdom, wisdom acquired throughout her lifetime (which is of course much longer than my lifetime) This definitely warrants that I listen to what she has to say. She has a way of putting issues into perspective and taking them apart piece by piece, so that by the end of it a problem does not appear as complex as it did initially. Her policy is easy, if something doesn't feel right just drop it. and move on. A lot of energy and time is lost when we try to rationalize our emotions even when we know at the core of us that something just ain't right. We should learn to trust our intuition more and avoid complicating already complex situations. Listen to your inner voice, let it guide you and you will be in less conflict with yourself.
I appreciate her now more than ever. Growing up I've come to realize that all she ever did for me (especially the spanking) she did out of love. I admire her strength because only now can I comprehend the gravity of all she has had to deal with in her life (including my rigid rebellious self...lol). She is a true reflection of the strength of a woman. And when they say that a woman is the pillar on which a home stands, there is so much truth in that.
Lets appreciate our mothers, the women in our lives. They might be intricate, temperamental but they are compassionate, and add so much colour to our lives.
