mom

I know that appreciating moms is cliche (and thus, the reason why I didn't start with her), but at the same time, I don't think we think about it enough. I love my mom and although she nags me to death sometimes, she is incredibly loving and caring and wonderful. In fact, she is always telling us how proud she is of us and how much she loves us. It's great. I really look up to my mom because she tries to connect with everyone. When people meet her, they love her because she is absolutely radiating positivity. She is generally incredibly friendly and downright bubbly. Despite some cultural miscommunications (and embarrassing me as only mothers can do), she is so great and generous and (mostly) well-intentioned. I learn some of this from her and I feel like I would like to learn more. How to be generous and so bubbly. My mom is also amazing and taking action. She is so active in her life and I wish I were more of the same. She is capable of doing so much. When we were children, she'd work work work then come home and cook and hang out with us for as long as possible. I am so in awe of that. She continues to be active by doing yoga, golf, starting golf clubs.. really admirable. :) Sometimes I think about what life will be like whenever my mom passes away, and I really can't fathom it. She's always been there for me and she's my default call person and whenever I have something that I want to share about how I'm doing work-wise or how I'm doing with exercise/health stuff, I know she'll be there to support me (oh and also to tell me that I should buy that somewhat expensive thing because I don't treat myself enough). Even though my childhood wasn't the easiest, she has been a constant positive force in my life and I love her for it. Takeaways: 1. Be more positive / friendly, 2. Be more active in my life, 3. Express love for others.
