\"happy<\/p>\n

I call my mom at least once a day. Today we talked about buying a scrabble app for her computer. Ninety- two years old and my mother is going to play scrabble on her Mac! How fabulous is this mother of mine!<\/span><\/p>\n

I would normally go on to my next activity, but with a broken ankle I have time to reflect about this mother of mine; her sage advice dripping with wisdom and values for women of all ages. Grammas, moms and daughters will gain from reading this.<\/p>\n

10 tips & observations on how to live a happy life:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. My mother: \u201cIf people talk about you \u2026you know you are not boring!\u201d<\/p>\n

2. My mother on fashion: \u201cNever worry about what others think. Revel in how you feel.\u201d<\/p>\n

3. My mother on secrets: \u201cA secret is a secret until you tell someone.\u201d<\/p>\n

4. My mother on children: \u201cRemember my darling daughter one mother can take care of ten children; ten children cannot take care of one mother.\u201d<\/p>\n

5. My mother on girlfriends: \u201cIf you have a few, consider yourself lucky.\u201d<\/p>\n

6. My mother on skin care: \u201cUse olive oil on your skin at night.\u201d<\/p>\n

7. My mother on the key to aging beautifully: \u201cExercise your face and your mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

8. My mother\u2019s favorite book: Of Human Bondage by Somerset Maugham<\/p>\n

9. My mother on marriage: \u201cA woman makes a marriage.\u201d<\/p>\n

10. My mother on life: \u201cLive in the moment. It is a gift.\u201d<\/p>\n

My mother is a gift. Your mother is a gift. There is no stronger love than that of a mother\u2019s love.<\/p>\n

Do Something GOOD Today: Appreciate the lessons your mother taught you.<\/p>\n
