A Profound Phrase

 

For better or for worse- the most profound phrase ever created.

Love is far more than a feeling. If you depend on your "feelings" to get you through a tough situation, you might as well hang it up.

Love is a choice. It's deciding to throw away the petty things. It's a decision to live unselfishly. It does not point out wrongs. It's patient. It's kind. It's unfailing. Those things described definitely aren't feelings. They're attributes that we have to work pretty darn hard at.

I'll leave you with this song by the sultry John Legend.

The Simple Things

The most simple things can bring happiness and therapy to our lives.

Flowers and fresh fruit are among the simple things I love.

I used to think flowers were a waste of money. And I've never been a huge fan of red roses. $50 for a bouquet of roses will never make sense to me. However, a few dollars, I can do. It freshens up your space. And fruit from the farmer's market is always nice, too. Honestly, I think it's the memory you make walking along the booths at the market that makes the fruit so good.

Relationships: oh so complicated sometimes. But not with my niece and nephews.They're so much fun, say the funniest things, and you get to return them when done. : )

Pets, need I say more? I don't want to think of ever coming home without a friendly hello from my pup. I'm biased, of course, but he's the cutest thing I've ever seen.

The simple things...isn't that what life is all about?
