Live on In Love...
Last week was Valentine's Day. My son and I love listening to Madison on KPRI in the morning. His welcoming voice makes me feel like a true San Diego native. Always sharing interesting tidbits, on Feb. 14th he proclaimed that 51% of the men would be buying flowers, chocolates or trinkets after 5 p.m. on Valentine's Day. I thought of all those anxious men, racing around, honking horns and madly pillaging local shops for the remaining boxes of candy. I wondered if any of those men had heard the suggestion Madison made after that statistic. "Why not just write a love letter?" I smiled and realized that along with being a great music spinner, this guy would make a good therapist.
The more we are loved, the less we want, crave or need a day to remind others to "love" us. And the more we love our relationships, love our work, our attributes and our choices, then we live "in love" everyday.
Loving oneself has nothing to do with looking in a mirror and doing the old "I love me" exercise. To be kind and compassionate with oneself, is to live "in love." To recognize the uniqueness of your personality, experiences and lessons learned is to live "in love" with your life. To remember what is yours to manage, guide and maintain is to live "in love" with personal growth and ownership.
Happy February to everyone, here's to living "in love" every day of the year!
