Love, Love, Love... all we need is LOVE!

At heart I am a hopeless romantic... it is true. And I recently read a quote about love that I believe captures just the type of love I am looking for...aspire to have...aspire to give. But love truly is an act.. not a mere feeling/emotion, but something we choose. So happy Valentine's Day to all those out there that I love!

Love is a friendship that has caught fire.
It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving.
It is loyalty through good and bad.
It settles for less than perfection,
and makes allowances for human weaknesses.
Love is content with the present.
It hopes for the future and it doesn't brood over the past.
It's the day-in and day-out chronicle of irritations, problems,
compromises, small disappointments, big victories,
and working toward common goals.
If you have love in your life,
it can make up for a great many things you lack.
If you don't have it, no matter what else there is,
it is not enough, so search for it, ask God for it, and share it!

"All opinions are not equal.

Some are a very great more robust,

The white stuff!

We had our first snow here in the Queen City this past weekend. See pics. While I love this beautiful white stuff, I must admit, I did start to get stir crazy by Saturday evening. Thank goodness for good company :)

But now the weather peeps are calling for another little winter mix. Thank you but no thank you. If the little white guys want to come down and join us, fine, but not on the weekends? How about coming during the week so I can have a work from the casa day... Me likely those!

The lesson we learn

"Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn."
C.S. Lewis

We learn through books, lectures, seminars, others...but most often through our experiences.
The other day I was thinking about all the experiences of life and how they shape you. Shape your beliefs, your outlook on life, your priorities, your goals... the list goes on and on. Often during these tiny moments of "experience" we don't even realize the molding that is taking place. So neat to stop sometimes and realize it all. Life is amazing. It truly is a journey.
One full of experiences!

Until next time...Blog On!
