As we approach Mother’s Day, I muse about the happiness moms bring to us throughout our lives. But I am also curious as to what makes moms happy about being mothers.

Some of my thoughts on how moms make us happy:

• Kisses and bedtime stories
• Band-Aids and TLC for banged up body parts
• Cupcakes, brownies and other special homemade treats made for birthdays or “just because”
• Encouragement after losing the “big game” or not getting that “A”
• Understanding and a willingness to listen and guide
• Seemingly limitless patience
• And, most importantly, boundless and never-ending love….

Now, I’d like to hear from the Moms: share what makes you happy by posting your thoughts below or sending your comment to acton@thehappychocolatier.com. We’ll post all the comments on our Web page on Friday, May 11.

Happy Mother’s Day!
