You Did That!

I love L-O-V-E love.  I love how it makes the heart flutter and skip a beat.   I love the high, highs and the depth of the lows.  I love the giggle in a baby who discovers love, the loving embrace of an elderly couple, the deep love a parent has for their child.

I've been in love twice in my life.  The first time I was so swept away that I rode the waves of excitement, disappointment, passion and heartbreak like I was on a float in the middle of a major storm.

What I've learned about love, loving and being loved:

Love is not flighty.
Love is solid, grounded, purposeful and intentional.
Love heals.
Love can't be faked.  When you see it you know.  When you hear it there's little doubt.  Listen to the next, "I love you."
Love always forgives.
Love doesn't fight for attention.  It's the largest thing in the room and the most quiet.
Love is bold, fearless and relentless.
Love grows, reproduces, lives.
Love will make you cry with joy, excitement, heartache and loss.
Love is not selfish...


I was minding my own business breathing and it came my way. It caused my breath to pause and check it out - LOVE.  Love did that!
