I’m writing this in March with the hope I’ll remember to post it on Mother’s day. Yesterday (back in March), my mother viewed my website for the first time. Being the great mother she is, Mom was so proud of what her son had done. She was impressed with the content, the layout, and the inspiration I had to start Weakonomics.com. Now if anyone else had reacted in the manner she had, I would have thought they were exaggerating. Perhaps my dearest mother was just being nice, but it doesn’t matter. I’ll say this and hope you can agree with me:

Nothing feels better than having your mother express how proud and impressed she is with you.

There’s a warm feeling you get when this happens, I’m not sure where it comes from but I know you’ve felt it too. If you don’t thank your mom today for doing all the typical mom things (raising you and all that), you should thank her for giving you self esteem. Happy Mother’s Day Mom and thanks for giving me a big head!
