offering you: a listening ear. a laugh. a smooch and a smile.
four simple ways to love.
love isn't always easy. lately i've been processing and thrashing through a certain sort of love and i've found what i can offer when i'm not quite sure how to love is one of these four things. sometimes my heart isn't so much feeling the love, but i know i can still offer it out through intentional action. love is a feeling but not limited to. love is also a choice and love is an action. when we are patient, kind, or gentle that's love. when we stop and think before we speak, even tough words, (or maybe hold our tongue) that's love. when we exercises those qualities with ourselves too, that's just as important, sometimes more. recognizing love close to home (self) will grow that to a more powerful, sustaining, life giving, inspiring, authentic love when showered out into the messy messy lovely but messy world.
I love this!!
ReplyDeleteSo right.
Listening. Laughing. Kissing. Smiling.
Sometimes all four! :)
Love you! Love is what it's all about. I find myself often praying "Teach me to love today. Teach me to love today".
ReplyDeleteevery so often i take a day to catch up on my fellow blogger sisters, lately ive been noticing the pattern. when the funk settles in, most of us feel it, when chaos persists, we try to fight back, relax and let go. ironically when some of us need the gift of a smile, we are usually busy trying to smile ourselves. I will remember this for days to come, when i have a crappy day and refuse to blog, ill just post a smile. gosh you're making me all poetic you. happy weekends loves.
