B is for Brave -Motherhood
"Bold, Ravishing, Adorable, Victorious and Enviable - That's the definition of Motherhood which is Brave in all of it's forms."
~Amita Gulia Sehrawat
As I typed this and did a quick search, here is one more beautiful piece of writing I could not help but share.
“Carry on, brave mother who tries when she’s tired.
Carry on, brave mother who gives unconditionally.
carry on, Brave mother who cries because she loves.
Carry on, brave mother who hopes without answers.
Carry on, Brave mother who loves without expectations.
Carry on, Brave mother.
Carry on.”
Rachel Marie Martin, The Brave Art of Motherhood: Fight Fear, Gain Confidence, and Find Yourself Again
A is for Appreciate - Motherhood
"A woman Appreciates her own mother the right way once she is a mommy herself!"
~ Amita Gulia Sehrawat
I have always loved my mother and have appreciated her for all she did and for she did not do. It was only after I was a mommy myself, I realized the real struggle she went through. Not only the phase before birth, during birth, sleepless nights, just the moments of awe, something changed between us which can not be described. I am glad that it was all for good and we never had to talk about it. Both of us somehow understood it without saying.

“The highest activity a human being can
attain is learning for understanding, because to understand is to be free.”
"‘I’ll let you in on a secret. When it comes to the Almighty,
grown-ups are no less confused than kids.”
“If you're telling me I should accept things as they are...
that nations like obedient good wives, should also give up their dreams, their
fantasies... then your grasp of international relations - and women for that
matter - is weaker than I thought.”
"The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which
God sees me"
"Believers favour answers over questions, clarity over
certainty. Atheists, more or less the same. Funny, when it comes to God, Whom
we know next to nothing about, very few of us actually say, 'I don't
know.'"
"The moment one was told not to enter the fortieth door or not
to peek into a chest, that door was bound to be unlatched, that chest had to be
prised open."
“God was a maze without a map, a circle without a center; the
pieces of a jigsaw puzzle that never seemed to fit together. If only she could
solve this mystery, she could bring meaning to senselessness, reason to madness,
order to chaos, and perhaps, too, she could learn to be happy.”
"There is no feeling of lightness like the one that comes
after conquering a long-held fear"

Bibliophile and Bibliomaniac
|
A person
who collects or has a great love of books. A bibliophile does not always
‘collects” books. He/she loves to read
books whatever big or small numbers they have or can their hands on.
|
A person who collects and is obsessive over books. The most common symptom of a
person being a Bibliomaniac is the greed of habit of collecting each and every
version of same book. These people not necessary read, they might just be
collecting the books!!
This popular quote sum’s up the difference between the two.
"The bibliophile is the master of his books, the
bibliomaniac their slave."
~Henry Ward Beecher

I read this joke somewhere but forgot to copy the source.

series!
Guy 2: Dude you suffer from Abibliophobia :D :D :D :D
