Mom's day is every day - not only one day a year

Tweet

Yesterday five of my cousins and I celebrated the day with opening up a discussion of the past and talking about our respective mothers, cousins, who did what, who caused the most trouble, who gave spanking as a child, who got more and better presents than a sibling, and so on. The purpose of the exercise was to let go of old grievances that happened twenty and forty years ago. It was a day for talking about your feelings and saying to a cousin, 'you took a shilling off the dresser shelf and let me get the blame for it.' Our mom's day is a real special day as you can talk about the most delicate subject and not get grilled over it. Our session included lunch and we talked and talked and learned so much more about each others' lives. Mon's Day only requires one thing; you are not allowed to talk about it to strangers. You can of course discuss forming your own 'Mom's group. The exercise yielded more than I expected and people went home happy.
