And...

Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there.

Becoming a mother is relatively simple.
Being a mom - parenting - is thoroughly challenging.

It's time-consuming and it's often tempting to take the easy road.
Still, NOT taking the easy road will result in a better human being.

And the vast majority of mothers I know, religious or secular, are NOT taking the easy road. They are busting their humps to raise decent people.

And that's a very important thing.
