Love.......A Deeper Meaning

Hi,

I wanted to take a moment and write to you about something some of us take for granted.  

Do you realize that when you love someone, when you have someone to go home to and share your day with, that it's beneficial in multiple ways?

When we're having a bad day, maybe someone cut us off in traffic or stole the parking spot we were going to pull in to.  Or maybe the boss has been down your back or a co-worker babbles on incessantly.  Maybe the dog peed on your shoes or you ran over the kid's bike.  

When you're in love, you have someone to go home to that you can share your day with, a place of peace and refuge to get away from all the chaos.  Having someone in your life that you're in love with is such a stress reliever mentally, physically and emotionally.  It's someone to eat your evening meal (or whatever time of the day you get off work), someone to laugh with and plan getaways with.  

When you DON'T have that special someone to go home to, it can be quite daunting.  Not only do you NOT get that endorphin rush that love can bring, but there's no one there to bounce ideas off of or just plain VENT to.  

Having someone at home or at least on the other end of the phone/text line, gives you a sense of belonging, of peace, of security, of love.  

Am I saying that we HAVE to have someone in our lives to be complete?  No, not necessarily.  A pet can also offer love and comfort, but they can't respond in the same way a person you love can.  

There's nothing quite like having someone lay down on the couch with his head on your lap and fall asleep while holding your hand as you have it resting on his chest.  It's a tenderness, a completeness, that makes all the aggravations and worries of the day melt away.  

Loving someone and having that love returned to you is like no other feeling in the world.  

So many people nit pick and complain about their significant other.  If you truly love each other, then work to be more kind to each other.  Learn to appreciate things about each other that maybe you've forgotten.  This world is a hard enough place to live in without being at war with the one you love.

Life takes a LOT of compromise.  A LOT!  Life does not owe any of us a thing.  We sometimes feel as though everyone else owes us and that we don't owe anyone else.  Wrong, my friend.  Life is compromise in all capacities. Does that mean we let anyone walk all over us or that we should walk over anyone else?  Absolutely NOT.  There is a healthy balance in all things in life with healthy boundaries.

My main point is that you love your significant other.  If you're not in love, move on and find someone you CAN be in love with.  If you ARE in love, take a step back and analyze how you're treating the other person and how they're treating you.  Doing a RAK (random act of kindness) to your significant other will show your love to them and they, in turn, will hopefully respond in the same way with another RAK.  When was the last time you served him/her breakfast in bed?  Or showed up at their work with a treat?  Or made their favorite meal?  Or even better yet...... when was the last time you put down your digital device and looked into their eyes and had REAL one on one time with them?

Don't take love for granted.  It's a precious gift..............................
