The Kindness of "No Pressure"

"But when women are moved and lend help, when women, who are by nature calm and controlled, give encouragement and applause, when virtuous and knowledgeable women grace the endeavor with their sweet love, it is invincible."
~ José Martí 

My mother recently graciously offered to take me to the airport. I gratefully accepted the ride as I needed to get to the airport after getting the children off to school. I called my mother as I was going home to let her know that I would be running a few minutes behind.  She told me to let her know when I was ready, and then added, "No pressure."  Those two words greatly calmed me down and I arrived at the airport with plenty of time.
