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
