I have always loved this quote:
“Whatever is in any way beautiful hath its source of beauty in itself, and is complete in itself; praise forms no part of it. So it is none the worse nor the better for being praised.”
– Marcus Aurelius
Mothers don’t get a lot of praise. There are no awards for Motherhood. No halls of fame. No 15 year plaques or magazine covers.
But perhaps that is because Motherhood is it’s own sweet, ever present glory. The hugs and kisses we receive each day are the crowns upon our head.
The most beautiful things in life need no decoration.
You are a Mother. You are paid in cuddles and kisses by children who will settle for no one else. You already are beautiful, rich, and famous.
