LOVE.

Love....this seems to be the time of year to discuss the prevalent theme of the holidays. People are making up, breaking up, hooking up, shacking up etc. It seems when ever it starts getting cold everyone wants some one next to them to keep them warm. And honestly loving, being in love and just love in general are and is a pretty amazing emotion. Some one recently said to me, “Sandy look at all your past relationships that haven’t worked out, you must have not been very successful with the whole dating thing,” This kind of stunned me, and really made me think long, hard, and very deeply about the past relationships I have been in. And what did I come up with spending time thinking back to all the wonderful people good or not that I was lucky enough to be in relationships with? Honestly it made me smile, the fact that I was able to experience Love so many times in the short life that I have lived not puppy love but real, unfiltered, unadulterated, 100 percent true love. Some people ask me, “but yeah you’ve been in love but haven’t you been hurt a lot as well”? The answer to that question is yes, but honestly the more I experience being in love all the hurt seems to just fade away knowing some day ill have another chance to experience it again and that’s really what I think its all about every steep is one that much closer to being with the one I will be with for the rest of my life. I’ve watched ex’s of mine get engaged, married and honestly find true happiness and even though it seems cliché I’m truly glad that to be apart of the steps they had to take to be with the one who completes them. So what am I trying to say by writing all of this....Love is amazing, and honestly I just love to love in general in what ever aspect that maybe. I really think Love in general just produces a calming effect in all of us that cannot be rivaled by anything. Love a word mentioned between 208-508 times alone in the bible depending on your version.....Hey Jesus....I think you were on to something...
