Happy International Womens day!!!!!

[alexandral]

I think I must have said this millions of times, but I don't really like "Mother's day" (celebrated in the UK on the fourth Sunday in Lent ) , the holiday has a problem by definition - What about women who lost their mothers or their children? "Mother's" day may not be the happiest time for these women. But this doesn't stop me from greatly enjoying the presents my daughter gives me every year for Mothers day, I love presents.

But International Womens day!! I love it! Let's unite, celebrate each other and think what we can personally do to help displaced women (this year's attention point).

Happy International Womens Day, everyone!!!!!! ** big hugs **

Happy Women's Day back to you, dear ♥!

I only considered this to be Mother's Day when I was a kid; since I entered my teen years I assumed it was dedicated to all women, which of course allowed me to get present as well ;D. But even as smaller children, boys used to give us girls little presents (if they liked us enough >.>)!

Спасибо за поздравления!!! И Вас тоже (и дочку) - от всей души с праздником! Здоровья, счастья, нежности, любви и весны!!!
Вы всё правильно пишете, что День матери - это всё же не совсем то, никакая не замена празднику женщин. Поэтому - Да здравствует Марта!!!:))) а уж о революционных и подобных корнях праздника пусть помнят какие-нибуь ортодоксы и даже они забудут:).
Странно, а я всегдадумала, что за пределами стран бывшего СССР об этом празднике почти не знают? (я имею в виду не Вас, а Ваших френдов?).

I actually like Mother's Day in the US because of its origin (http://womenshistory.about.com/od/howejwriting/a/mothers_day.htm) as it was originally intended as a day to celebrate both motherhood and to push for peace. But I do hate how commercialized it has become!

Happy International Women's Day! I will have to make some kind of special post later.

Love that picture!

Funny you should post lilies of the valley, my late grandpa would give them to Mum and I every March 8th.

Happy Women's Day back to you, dear! ♥
I try and use this holiday to focus and to make people pay attention to certain issues each year - unfortunately, they seem to do so just once a year. But this won't stop me!
