February 14th & Love
In the final hours of this 1st day of February 2011, I wanted to take a few moments to reflect on this upcoming month that is thought by many to be the Month of Love.
What Is Love?
Love is synonymous with such words as attachment, endearment, affection, adoration, liking, devotion, warmth, tenderness, friendliness, adore, worship, like, cherish and fondness.
In today's world, there are those who define Love as amorous affection, physical attraction, lust, sexy, provocative, pleasurable, satisfaction, temporary and, at times, no strings attached.
Over the past 6 or 7 months, I've given Love serious contemplation.
I've been blessed to have become acquainted with multiple kinds of Love in my lifetime.
~My First Crush~
~Young Love~
~My Parents~
~My Granny~
~My Brothers~
~God & His Son, Jesus Christ~
~The Love Of My Life - My Husband~
~In-Laws~
~5 Fabulous Children - Joseph, Nanette, Geneal, Nicole & Oliver~
~Grandchildren~
~Treasured Friends~
~Wonderful Neighbors~
~Church Family~
~Community~
~Colleagues~
~Clients~
~Students~
Throughout my life, Love is an emotion that has come without restraint.
It is never devalued, never given begrudgingly, nor is it polluted by the world's standard.
It is my Heart that speaks of Love as Sincere, Devoted, Contemplative, Empathetic, Understanding, Compassionate, Tender, Teachable, Nurturing, Protective, Adoring
and unquestionably Sacred.
To open my Heart so fully to others, has, at times, proven Scary, Painful, Anxious, Sorrowful, and yes, even Heart-Breaking! Yet, I'm willing to taste the bad, in order to more fully comprehend and experience the Powerful, Wonderful, Blessed, Joyful and Eternal state of emotion that is synonymous with LOVE.
Here's wishing everyone a Happy February!
May this Month usher in tremendous Love that will last throughout your 2011!
