I’ve been thinking for a while that there are precious times in life that need to be savored like the last piece of apple pie at Thanksgiving. I’m thinking specifically about the moments when love enters your life…the moments when love has its clutches in your heart…the moments when love is all that matters.
As people, we often walk through life not appreciating these brief fleeting moments, with the thought that love will always be there…and that love knows no end. We all know that love is often taken for granted. And I wondered why?
I’m speaking of specifically relationship type love, the love between two people. I think that overall, while love can be convenient and special at the time, people in general recognize that love requires work and commitment. Like with anything that requires work and commitment, there is often a fear that exists when embarking on the newest goal. It seems to me that people see love and fear as synonymous. And that to me is sad.
I recognize that there are costs to love, but the benefits far outweigh the costs. Loving and allowing oneself to be loved allows for growth of the spirit and growth of the heart. Love is like adding a glow to an already special person or life! Love surrounds the soul and enhances the spirit. Love allows you to be open possibilities…love can put a special spring in your step…and a song in your heart. Love is unrestrained and unconfined. Most importantly, love is deserved. Everyone deserves to share a life with someone that matters. Everyone deserves to be known in a way that facilitates true openness and trust.
So today, on this rainy Wednesday, I’m pondering love. I’m thinking totally about those fleeting moments. I’m feeling grateful for the moments that I’ve experienced. I’m holding my breath, yet remaining open to my next loving moment --- where true love is shared and not reserved. If you are lucky to have love in your life at this time, hold on to it with a grasp of strength and appreciation. If you, like me, are waiting for love…be open, unafraid, and unassuming.
This is the She-Spot…feeling deeply pensive on this day!
Later!
Go head dawn. Very refreshing reading for a rainy hump day. Being open to love displays a mature spirit towards life...and a bitterless disposition to the pain of heartbreak. Hard to do...but worth the release. I know you have experienced the sunshine and rain...so I applaud your radiant outlook. Keep writing..and keep smiling!
ReplyDeleteAlthough a blog for women, this post made me think about my life and relationship. I have to wonder if my loving makes my woman appreciative of what she has. Am I one of those "moments" she cherishes?
ReplyDeleteThanks guys for your positive comments! I truly appreciate the feedback....my blog although created initially for women...is open to input and review by all. I welcome the commentary.
ReplyDelete@IIWYM, .....I believe that when love is reciprocal there will be an appreciation and abiding love for and by both. So, in short...because you love...you are cherished...!
