Spend time with your friends who don't have mothers or who are unable to see their mothers. It may be fun to host a Mother's Day party at your home. Consider hosting a Champagne brunch and make omelets and pancakes served with Bolinis. Afterwards, your friends can all go get manicures and pedicures.

Appreciate all the mothers in your life. You probably have some friends, coworkers, or family members who are great mothers. You probably notice them juggling their time between their work and family life. Let them know that you notice by making them a card, buying them flowers, or by taking them out to lunch. Just because this person in not your mother, doesn't mean you can't appreciate her as a mother.

Just skip Mother's Day. Just because it's Mother's Day, doesn't mean you have to celebrate it. This mother's day could be your catch-up on my work day, or hang out with my boyfriend day, or just another lazy Sunday. Celebrate a beautiful Sunday in any way that makes you happy!

Ursula I loved the article, I lost my mother 4 years ago and it doesn't really get any easier. I learned a long time ago like you say in your article that I feel better when I at least take a plate from our big meal to a couple of neighbors that have no one. If we look deep enough we will always find some one that has it worse than we ourselves have it. Bringing a smile to the face of some one like that is worth it all. God Bless! -

Dearest Ursula... This is a wonderfully written article, and I am certain it will help and comfort a great many people. Also, I wanted to say thank you for your comment on my "Diabetic Tea Article." You had asked me how long would the concentrate keep...I would guess at least 2 weeks in the frig without any taste problems. We go thru the 4 gallons in less than a week; if my Daughter is home from College, it goes quicker than that! haha :)) Again, thanks for writing such a great article...keep up the fantastic work, and pray for me as I work on a book of Devotionals. Bless you today and always. Warmly, Vickie...2ndMomma :))
