HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO MYSELF!
I’m definitely enjoying my second year of Mother’s Day.
It’s been an honor. I’m glad to be a part of it. 
It’s the best experience by far! :)

Laos, 1952-1975
The flag shows a white three-headed elephant (the god Erawan) in the middle. On top of the elephant is a umbrella, while the elephant itself stands on a pedestal.

The three heads referred to the three former kingdoms Vientiane, Luangprabang, and Champasak which made up the country. The white elefant and the nine-folded umbrella are royal symbols in Southeast Asia. The pedestal represented the law on which the country rested.

The unnecessary things that low-minded, insecure people do to try and bring you down to their level. You may try and break me with your words of unkind and thoughtless remarks, but you’ll never have that part of me. I was taught to be so much more than that and I’m not going to let some hell-bent, weak-minded fool, such as you, try to destroy my sense of being.
