Love is selfless, yet it exhilarates the self.
--Sue Atchley Ebaugh

With a quickened step we hurry toward a challenge when empowered by love. Conversely, even the simplest of experiences have the power to fill us with dread when love is absent.

Expressed to a friend, a lover, even a stranger, love promises us unanticipated gifts. We're openly appreciated, the glow of warmth enfolds us, and we find even our courage is magically bolstered when we've shared ourselves in a loving way with someone.

With ease we may express love to children, touched by their vulnerability, certain we'll not be bruised by rejection. If only we'd continue our free expression of love to all the child adults on our paths, we'd discover both exhilaration and the courage to face any event life passes our way.

Good Morning HJ, I am just getting a good start with my coffee.

In my case, love can also be blind. But even though I was hurt for a few weeks, I began thinking on the good things that happened in the 2 years I was with Nick. Even though there were not many I was finally able to let go and get on with life.

I have so many wonderful people in my life to love and who return that love. Do I miss that man in my life? Of course I do. But if he does not appear before my journey has come to and end, I will be fine. hug

So true...and life is all about risk. If you're not taking risks, you're not living fully.
