Valentine’s day is coming up and even if you don’t like all the pooha around it, it’s nice to stand still for a moment and ponder upon how lucky you are to be able to love and to be loved!
There are many kinds of love:
The unconditional love you feel for your kids:
Yes, even when sometimes you really wonder what on earth made them do this or say that, at the end of the day, you just give them a big hug and you couldn’t even begin to imagine how your life would be without them in it.
The soulmate love and beyond of your partner:
Feel blissed you have someone to come home to, someone to talk to, to argue with, to play with, to eat with, to sleep with, to dream with, ….and so many things more!!!! Even in times where you seem far from the “ideal lovey-dovey couple”, remember why you chose each other, remember that –let’s be honest- none of us is perfect. Remember all the good stuff! And be grateful!!
The love you get from your parents:
Yes they will always ‘know better’ because they love you and want the best for you. That ‘best’ is debatable, I know, but it finds its origin in love. Cherish it! You only know what you had once you’ve lost it!
The honest, straight forward love you get from your pets:
They are always happy to see you! Whether you’ve been away for 5 seconds or the whole day, they always make you feel welcome!
I let you fill in all the kinds of love you feel and give.
As Lao Tzu says:
In reflecting on your life, you will
see love,
feel love,
give love,
and then you can celebrate life with all the love in it!
Love you all for reading my blogs!!
