Tomorrow is the birthday of my mother, who is healthy, and happy in her life as she turns 83. She was a 24-year-old smart and funny beauty when she gave me birth. It has been the most significant and primary relationship of my nearly 60 years in the flesh.
As a psychotherapist, I learned early on how about the deep bond between mother and child. The effects of such relationships have far reaching consequences in both directions. Coming to the delight in one another, the appreciation for our strengths, the willingness to disregard any failings is such a gift. I feel like it’s my birthday, too.
How is your relationship with your mother? What can be done to bring about peace and joy in this very significant relationship? Ki to Happiness encourages all such efforts, quoting Jan Faherty Obear “ that’s marvelous“.
