Watched an old movie today "The Blind Side" The story of Michael Oher, a homeless and traumatized boy who became an All American football player and first round NFL draft pick with the help of a caring woman and her family.The mother played by Sandra Bullock and Micheal played by Quinton Aaron in the movie was really great. The woman who starts initially as 'Lady Bountiful' and later becomes the genuine caregiver and motivator for the boy was something to watch.You could see the bumbling boy slowly coming to grasp the changes happening around him and responding to the new environment and finally overcoming all his inhibitions to become the confident man

It was a "Mother's Day" movie. Good one.

It reminds us of what we, who are blessed with so much,can do for the society, if we want to.Most of us are busy denouncing the authorities, our neighbors,our relatives,friends but forget what we as individuals can do to contribute to society.

It  profoundly reminds us of the importance and impact of a 'mother'. We need to take this responsibility seriously and understand its many nuances. Putting food on the table or getting the child ready for school or taking him to the dentist doesn't define our role. Nor does it impact the child.A mother can and should do much more and one of the things she needs to do is to lead by example.

What else did I do today? 

Baked a cake and made some yummy chicken.Both turned out super. Gulls presented me a painting,my m.day gift.

Thank you son.Hope I am a good mother to you.
