Kjærlighet

No matter how you say it, it all pretty much means the same thing. And it’s everywhere. I’m not talking about romantic love. I’m talking about love in general. Love from the human race.

It’s out there waiting for you…

But,  it has to start within for you to be able to see it elsewhere.

Somedays it’s really hard to get out of bed, and decide to be a loving person. I know that.  It’s a choice sometimes.  A choice to be able to be loved and also to be the loving one. Most days, for me, it comes really easy. But I know what the days are like where you would rather lay in bed, and not be bothered. Those days are hard. The world and life can be hard sometimes. But don’t let it get to you. It’s easier if you don’t. Even if you have to look for it, in tiny little nooks and crannies, it’s there.

That love.

It is.

And for those that it comes easy….. share it.

Others need it.

People you don’t know who need it, might need it the most.

I was never an over the top kind of valentine-y person, but as I get older, I’ve realized that I need to be more so. Yes, it’s a holiday filled with expectations, stores trying to sell you things you don’t need,  but really, we’re celebrating the greatest gift we have been given….love.  I’ve been shown love my whole life by people who have cared about me along the way.  I have been shown what it is to be loved unconditionally, and I am beyond a blessed person. I want my son to know that kind of love. That it’s ok to show that kind of love. Even if it seems silly or arbitrary.

Not just this week, or this Friday.

Every. Single. Day.

I adore this song. Pete Townsend rocks it. But Steve Carell can make you emotional when he sings it (the good part is at the end.)
