"Love does not consist
of gazing at each
other, but in looking outward together in the same direction."
- Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Good
morning!
I was
working on finding a quote for this morning and have to tell you it was
really a toss up between this one and "I married the first man I ever
kissed. When I tell this to my children, they just about throw up,"
said by former first-lady Barbara Bush. (Thought you might like the
chuckle this morning.)
Actually, I was quite blessed when I was working on my Good Mornings
for February as a note came in just as I began to contemplate
Valentine's Day. It was a note from Good Morning reader Beverly M. and
she wrote:
I often tell the significant others in my life - family and friends
that I love them more today than yesterday and less than I shall
tomorrow. I do not remember where I found that quote but for me it is
an affirmation that my love will continue to grow, develop and expand
each day.
I thought that was so beautifully articulated. And what is Valentine's
Day? It is a time when we articulate our feelings toward our loved
ones. Often it is done through browsing for the perfect card, but why
not take a moment today and write a special handwritten note? Then take
it a step further and make an effort to verbally express and affirm
your love as Beverly does.
My daughter and I have a fun routine that started when she was around
4. Somehow in one of our phone calls (I was traveling) we ended up (in
our ever competitive way) bantering back and forth with "I love you"
statements. I had said I love you, she had responded with the same, and
I had said "I love you, plus one." This has led to many variations over
the years --- "I love you more than mountains are high," "I love you
more than every number plus itself squared." My daughter finally took
the cake with, "I love you more than more." For many years we have
bantered and shared our affection through "I love you" statements, and
I anticipate many more wonderful years of I love you statements.
Your Turn:
How often do you say "I love you," to those you love? Do the words roll
off your tongue in routine, or are they said with heartfelt meaning?
Think of ways you can articulate and share your feelings for those you
love. Take a moment today to write a handwritten note and express your
love to someone.
Your
Affirmation:
I express my love for others easily and often.
And as always,
don't forget to
start your day with a heartfelt: "Something great is
going to
happen today... I can't wait to see what it is!"
And
when ending
your day ask yourself: "What is one more thing I can do
to
make today matter?
