Did you know that today is International Women's Day? We all deserve recognition for all of the many hats we wear, great grandmother, grandmother, mother, daughter, neice, aunt, cousin, wife, girlfriend to name a few. Not to mention all the roles we play in being a woman. So take the time today to recognize yourself for all you do for those in your life and how being a woman contributes to that and then tell me what do you like best about being a woman?

In my country, for decades, mother's day was on March the 8th. In the late years this day was (forcibly, in my opinion) turned into the Woman's day.
I think women caused this change because they all need another day to make them feel special and appreciated, which is absolutely normal.
On March the 6th there is no celebration in my country.

I think this date is not very well know for being International Women's Day. I'm sure very few people know about it at all. But it is international, so even though your country doesn't recognize it as a celebration, all women are to be recognized regardless.

Sorry to correct, but International Woman's Day is always on March 8...
I starts in 1908, 15,000 when women marched through New York City demanding shorter hours, better pay and voting rights.
IWD is now an official holiday in Russia and at least 10 other countries.
Man is buying flowers for coworkers, mothers, sisters and wifes. Even at school, boys are giving flowers for girls.
Womans day was always very popular in socialist movement countries. That day was always bigger than mothers day.
Tons of flowers and chocolates are given...

Thank you so much for that correction. I went on an email I received today. Apparently, I was misinformed. Well we will just start two days early.

I have an aunt who didn't have children of her own and she's my favorite person in the world. She was almost more of a mother to me than my own mother. I'm sure your neice and nephew think the world of you too.

Oh really, I didn't know that today is international women's day. Thanks for the info. Greetings to you and the women myLotters here.
Its nice to be a woman. I think women can do what men can, but there's one thing that a man can not do but a woman. It is being pregnant, bearing and delivering a child. That is one aspect of being a woman that I like best and am proud of - having bore and raised 2 sons. There can never be an Eintein, Kennedy and other famous men, without a woman - a mother who bore and nurture these men!

No I didn't know and back to you as well. We sure do wear many hats. More than I can even count. What I like best about being a woman, is being a mommy.Even the not so great parts. Because I get to look forward to things getting better. And the best sound to me is my daughters laughter.Of course, most days WIFE isn't bad either. But maybe thats more due to having a terrific hubby.

Thats wonderful that you are happy in both of those roles. Its not easy to be a mother or a wife. Neither role comes with an instruction booklet.
