What I Learned From...Love

1. Little girls not well loved have a long road.

2. Love sickness is one of the worst kinds of sicknesses.

3. Love can feel like a flannel blanket fresh out of the dryer on a cold winter’s night.

4. The more you love, the more love you have to give.

5. I’ve learned what’s important to me: Family, friends, my dogs, hummingbirds, the smell of a puppy’s belly, the smell of a dog’s paws, song birds, my magic oak tree, helping someone along the way, being helped along the way, watching a child play in the dirt, looking in the mirror and liking the person looking back at me, compassion, a smile, kind words, hopefulness.

6. There are two choices: love or fear. Even though, I fail many times, I will continue to want to choose love.

7. Loving yourself is the best gift that you have to give.

8. It feels good when someone looks at you with eyes of love.

9. I want to love someone deeply and know him completely – and I want him to love me deeply and know me completely. (Damn, I can’t go anywhere without that Hopeful Romantic!)

10. The only true choice is to love - love completely – nothing held back, nothing expected. The choice only comes from one person – not two. And, the real, deep, lingering pain only comes from love withheld.
