One day and a half before Mother’s Day, my co-worker’s mother-in-law was buried. Ms. Francis was 72 years old. Her suffering in this world is now over. She has found peace. For the rest of that family’s life, Mother’s Day will always have a different meaning. In fact, all holidays that the family has shared with each other will be different. It is the same for me with Easter, Mother’s Day for me will never be the same. My prayers are with the family. Yes, dying is easy, it’s the leaving part that’s hard to cope with. We all will leave someone behind, but we pray that we will see our love ones again in the new life.
Sometimes, we tend to find excuses for the things that don't work out for us. We tend to blame others instead of taking responsibility for our actions, which only elevates the excuses. This behavior also applies to standing up for what is right. We often remain silent and wait for someone else to take the initiative instead of holding ourselves accountable. "What's your excuse, now?" is about empowering ourselves to make choices that will help us feel comfortable and confident in our skin.
