A Rose

There is more to love than words just for the sake of “saying something” or material items just for the sake of “giving something”. Love is about meaning.  It is about doing or saying things when it is appropriate to do so.  It is about not saying or doing things when it is appropriate to do so.  It is about giving not just what you like or need, but giving to others based on their likes and needs.  I often hear people discussing things that have changed in their relationships.  Most times those things are simple things.  And most times there has been discussion about what those things are.  Yet no action had taken place in response for whatever the reason.  Sometimes the person accountable for responding does not take the discussion seriously or doesn’t think it’s a big deal.  They my even place a greater value on other things they “feel” they do that should compensate.  Sometimes they don’t respond because they are retaliating, looking for something done in return or have their own personal expectation or void.  Love is about giving the other person what they need in the relationship. It is about listening, communicating and responding to one another.  It is about taking action in support of a positive reaction; a resolution.   And it goes both ways.  You can’t do it all by yourself.  However, you can make a choice to do your part.  No one request is of greater or lesser value than the other.   This is applicable for all types of relationships – romantic, friendships, and family.   Sometimes it’s a simple thing that makes the difference like saying, “Good morning” or “You’re beautiful”, a kiss on the cheek, a greeting card, saying, “Thank you” or “I appreciate you”, apologizing, handling a simple chore, holding hands, or cooking dinner, just to name a few.  It can be as simple as giving a rose.  Act and respond.  Don’t take love for granted. Love takes action. Love always. Love daily. 365 Love. TM

Bravo

Congratulations!  Bravo!  You did it.  You made it through. And look at you now. Yesterday has come and gone.  Today is a new day and future tomorrows are something to look forward to.  What happened in the past is in the past.  Now you can move forward.  You can move ahead.  Take the first step and then the next; then move again. 

I am proud of you and you should be too.  You accept yourself for who you are.  You realize your own personal beauty.  You feel good about yourself.  You know your value.  You have high self-esteem.  You are confident.  You have character and acknowledge that you are meant for greatness.  You realize that your contribution is life, no matter how big or small, is a significant contribution.  You make a difference.  You are important. You are somebody. You are love.  Bravo!  You see the glass as half full and are able to learn from all your life experiences.  You are forgiving.  You are patient and kind.  You realize that there is still more work to do.  And you know that you are a work in progress.  When troubles started to get you down, you found the strength to pull yourself back up.  You believed.  You had strong faith.  You prayed. 

Bravo! Stand up and take a bow.  Applaud yourself, because you did it.  You learned to love and accepted what love has done to you and for you.  Bravo!  Bravo!  Love always. Love daily. 365 Love. TM

In the Midst of it All

So, you are going through something. You are hurting, struggling, unhappy, in pain, troubled, disheartened. You’ve been lied on, abused, mistreated, cheated on, and then some.  Welcome to life. You have not experienced anything that someone else has not experienced. But, it does not have to be this way. It does not have to remain this way. For all that has not been desirable in your life. There is so much more to be desired. There is so much more in life to appreciate and love.  There is a mindset that helps you to realize that the glass is half full.  You can see the positive side of anything with love. And everything becomes a lesson learned. You are put in these situations to learn something from them. You are the teacher or the learner. You are the instructor or the student. You are the “impacter” or the impacted in any and all situations. But, in the midst of it all, love will help you to make it through. It will help you get over it.  It will help you to hold on or let go of it. Love will help you to help yourself and others. This is not the end of your story, it is one chapter of many to come and the pages are still being written. For everything that you have gone through, are going through, or will go through, in the midst of it all, love is with you. Love will take care of you. Love never fails. Have faith, believe, and it is so. Love always. Love daily. 365 Love. TM
