sleepy and contemplating.
love.
its beautiful.
ive found that it can be ugly, when it hurts, but its still there. its love. its so incredibly intense it almost feels fake, but at the same time oh so real.
yes im rambling.
but thats because there is so much of it out there. why are we not embracing every opportunity to feel love and happiness?
work is a job.
it consumes a lot of our life and is necessary. 40+ hours a week for a full timer...
but there is much more than 40 hours in a week and we must realize this.
be it playing soccer with your kid for 10 minutes in your backyard
or slow dancing with your spouse for one song in your living room
helping your parents cook dinner for no special occasion
getting a little knick knack you know your friend will like
approaching someone new and talking to them about any and everything
reaching out for a friend and being available to be reached out to.
there are COUNTLESS opportunities for love every day and we often over look it.
take a moment and for every person in your life that you love, and really love, do something simple for them.
send a message just reminding them you love them, even if you dont talk everyday.
send an actual letter. it takes 4 minutes to write, less than 50 cents to send and a trip to the mailbox and its guaranteed to make them smile.
leave post its.
send silly picture messages.
talk for hours.
little things.
how have i been putting this into action?
calling a friend to see if i could pick them up some food on my way over.
3 hour video chat date with an out of town friend.
sending a reminder "i love you" message to a friend who was on vacation.
laying and talking with my son for 5 minutes before we got up for the day.
IM chats with a friend going through a rough time.
sending a few postcards for no reason (remind me to walk them to the mailbox...)
taking my brother on an errand without question or dissatisfaction.
visiting friends
breakfast dates of homemade food.
calling to see how a persons day was.
taking a sick friend gatorade and ramen.
posting silly links that will brighten a persons day specifically for them.
random calls just to chat. (how often we forget to do this since texting became a phenomenon).
this was all just within the last 3 days.
pass it along friends.
we need each other.
we need love.
i love you.

just random crap
thats what stumbleupon was made for ; ]
but this jumped out at me:
You know it's love when the tiny details about
another person, ones that are insignificant to most
people, seem fascinating and incredible to you....Unknown

touching base with a thought....
"Even after all this time, the sun never says to the earth "You owe me". Just think what a love like that can do."
eat it. live it. love it. share it. be it.
eat it. live it. love it. share it. be it.

love.
love yourself.
you are beautiful.
the way you are.
you have such capabilities!
dont let someones thoughts or words prevent you from reaching potential!
self improvement is an ongoing mission.
but realize its improvement, not FIXING. you are you and you are wonderful and beautiful.
you arent fat.
you arent ugly.
you arent stupid.
you arent worthless.
you are beautiful.
wonderful.
precious.
sweet.
lovely.
love.
and as long as you love you, and have love for others, you will be happy.
promises.
