Gratitude Tuesday

Love

What other word could I pick with the letter "L?" I am a hopeless and hopeful romantic--thanks Probitionate! I have been in love with love since I was a little girl. I think it is one of the most beautiful notions in the world--contrary to Tina Turner.

It is probably one of the words that I overuse the most in the world, but it is something that I always feel, and say with a great deal of gusto when I use it. I told a co-worker today that I loved her and she did not even flinch. I once told a guy that--who I probably loved more than her and he was nearly freaked out.

Love is a heavy word and should not be misused. But it is, but then like I said when you say it or feel it in the moment, you mean it. I mean it almost every time I say it. Because there is not another word that gives the same meaning.

I love books. The sexist thing to me is to see someone reading a book--especially one that I might have wanted to read or read and liked. I love the person with the book at that moment, and I mean that.

I was at a book release party, and it was ridiculously entertaining. I saw someone there who I had not seen or heard from for a very long time. It was interesting the emotions I felt while talking to them. We kissed goodbye, and I was like how insignificant that was. Love and kisses can sometimes be so insignificant.

And sometimes be everything in the world.

There is nothing else like love under the sun, I rather have it than money or bread in my mouth.

I am grateful for everything I love, and for everything I have the potential of loving...
