Love is unconditional
Love is picking up a kitten and hearing a gentle purr
Love is feeling warmth all over your body and mind
Love is wanting to see the good in all things and all people
Love is feeling comfortable in your own skin
Love is feeling secure that there is nothing to fear
Love is coming home to smiles and excited greetings
Love is being content and never yearning for more than what you’ve got
Love is peace of mind
Love is what we all long for, yearn for and spend a lifetime trying to find
Love is a best friend
Love is all animals large and small
Love is illusive sometimesLove is seeing the other person–really seeing them, recognizing how precious they are, and being willing to be changed by the love you feel.
Love is when you can laugh so hard with someone that you pee your pants a little and its okay to tell them.
Marital Love is feeling safe, feeling content with what you have, feeling desired, feeling that you are his “one” and he is your “one”, laughing together,talking together, the odd good spat, occasionally still going weak at the knees, not feeling alone inside, sharing your bed, sharing your heart,sharing your pain, sharing your burdens and having the other person do the same, growing and not shrinking,and feeling the universe( and you in it) is unfolding as it should.
Mother Teresa said true poverty is when there is no love. She worked and helped the poorest of the poor in the slums of India. She traveled all over the world, received a Nobel peace prize which she humbly accepted in the names of the forgotten and the poor. She said of all the people she met in her life, the poor were the truly happiest and giving. They loved life for it’s basic qualities, sharing a meal with a poorer neighbor, helping each other survive. They never had to think about material possessions because they didn’t know what they were. Simple love that’s all we all really need.
I believe without love we are poor. Since I discovered my marriage was a sham…my life became joyless because I knowI wasted my love on someone who couldn’t give it back to me? Self love is a goal but it is often lonely just the same. Or maybe just at the beginning of the journey because we are not really used to walking alone??
Karen,
I wish there was a way you could end your marriage. Wouldn’t your husband have to pay you suport and wouldn’t you get half his pension and any assets?
Concerned for you, NapSOS = LoveÂ
The sisterhood has shown me more love than I’ve felt in years!Â
There is God, there are animals, and there is SOS!ÂThank you, sisters for all the love and support and concern and validation that I receive from each of you on a continual basis. I have no idea where I would be right now (mentally, emotionally) without my girls!Â
And to prove it, I would rather be home on a Saturday night on SOS than anywhere else!! 🙂Â
Now, let’s hope that changes sometime in the future when the divorce is final and I have completely taken my life back!!Â
But, for now, you’ll do…….
XOXOXO!!!!
