How many of us can honestly say we’ve been introduced to love? Like honestly for real.
Not the type that leaves you un-kept and misshapen on the bathroom floor after crying for days. But the type that enables you to grow and have hobbies of your own, to keep your mind-set and be free to laugh at each other. I am proud to say, I have.
I was on a journey of self-discovery and happened across an idea that apparently has been around for eons. It goes something like – if you want something really bad you have to specify to the finest detail what that is and trust that in due time or at your destined time it will come to you.
And so I trusted and believed. I listed my wants and gave a full description of when, how, where and why and politely carried on living life. To my surprise and earlier than I had planned my gift showed up.
Love is amazing when you can sit on your own and be happy to do so. Love is freeing when you sit at the beach and watch the waves crash against a wall that seems not to mind its eroding behaviour.
Love is laughter when you listen to your partner let loose on another rumble in the car and not feel bad for closing the windows.
Love is liberating when you’ve been down the road of hurt and pain and no longer look back. Love is forgiveness when plans don’t work your way and it is the ability to say – I know you’re not perfect and that’s why I love you!
For some reason when mid-year comes by we all seem to be running low on battery life.
Work seems to have gotten busier, kids are on edge and can’t seem to settle down, our friends and family also seem to be going through one or other challenge and we find ourselves all pooped out.
And it’s during these times that I’ve come to learn that we lean on those stronger than ourselves.
For me, I lean on him. Because no matter how crappy my day has been, I know that he’s going to say something crazy and I’m going to have no other choice but to smile.
Which then leads to a laugh and everyone knows laughing is good for your health. It’s been proven. And before you know it I’ve forgotten why I was in the mood I was in to begin with.
Whoever that is for you, I pray you can rest your head on their shoulder and allow them to hold your hand. May they bring you peace and joy, laughter and love. And may the remainder of the year bring your great surprises that not only lifts your spirits but brings you back to YOU!
