To ALL our wonderful loving and caring DEAR MOTHER'S on this special day.

Brian from New Lynn

A MOTHER is an angel walking in human form on Earth to take care of human beings who needs somebody to look after them. She is the most selfless person in this world who always keeps her family before her and considers a top priority. Her children are her biggest possessions which she always wants to keep in front of her eyes and bestow them with good morals and values which will make them responsible individuals in the near future. Here are some inspirational quotes:
==========================================================
"I got to grow up with a mother who taught me to believe in me."

"Mama was my greatest teacher, a teacher of compassion, love and fearlessness. If love is sweet as a flower, then my mother is that sweet flower of love."

"A mother's happiness is like a beacon, lighting up the future but reflected also on the past in the guise of fond memories."

"God could not be everywhere, and therefore he made mothers."

"A mother's arms are made of tenderness and children sleep soundly in them."

"Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children."

"All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother."

"To describe my mother would be to write about a hurricane in its perfect power. Or the climbing, falling colors of a rainbow."

"A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts."

"No language can express the power and beauty and heroism of a mother's love."

"A mother gives you a life, a mother-in-law gives you her life."

"Every successful child is the product of an enthusiastic mother."

"Marriage made us family, love made me your daughter."

"My mother-in-law you may be, but a friend in you I'll always see."
"A daughter-in-law cannot be perfect by herself. A beautiful mother-in-law helps her to be one"

"A man who treats his woman like a princess is proof that he has been born and raised in the arms of a queen."

"Behind every successful person, stands a very successful mother-in-law."

"You raised your son to be a responsible and loving man. And now, I will teach our children the same. Thank you for being an inspiration."

"How blessed we are, how fortunate we've been. That you are his Mother, and also my friend."

"I am happy every day because of the way you raised your son, the most amazing man I have ever met, and how you accepted me into your family."

"I can imagine no heroism greater than motherhood."

"The bond between mothers and their children is one defined by love. As a mother's prayers for her children are unending, so are the wisdom, grace, and strength they provide to their children."

"To the world, you are a mother, But to your family, you are the world."

"When in doubt, choose the kids, there will be plenty of time later to choose work."

"Motherhood is one of the loveliest things a woman can wear."

"The most precious jewels you'll ever have around your neck are the arms of your children."

"Mother's Day is about ... recognizing the act of mothering everywhere we see it ... when we listen, nurture, nourish, protect - we're doing sacred work."

"No language can express the power and beauty and heroism of a mother's love."

"A mother is she who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take."

"Mothers hold their children's hands for a short while, but their hearts forever".

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? ๐Ÿ›ป๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿš“

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, weโ€™re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature โ€” and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
