I agree with you about Mother’s Day and Father’s Day - I like my regular days with some variety thrown in, but that’s me. Some of these days are just too stressful and sad for people whose families aren’t around.

I agree. So many have mothers who have passed away, were abusive, or abandoned them. On the other side of things, mothers are ignored/mistreated or estranged from their kids, have babies and children who have passed away. There's a lot of pain associated with both holidays.

I agree with you - I'd be happy to do away with all these Hallmark holidays.

My shakti mat arrived Friday, and I love it! It wasn't nearly as painful as I was expecting, and I am able to lie on it for 10 minutes. I actually look forward to using it every day.
