Love The One You’re With….That Means You!
When we think of February, we always think of love and he-ing and she-ing….and maybe a President or two, too. But, mostly, its romance and valentines and sweetheart dances and, chocolate, of course. Then, there’s flowers, mushy cards, maybe even some jewelry and…. more chocolate.
We can’t help sailing back through an ocean of memories, thinking about “those times in our lives” with romantic partners, who knows how many…from that first kiss to moments of passion, no matter how fleeting but certainly never, ever forgotten. Then, we land on the runway of today—the love we have in our lives, particularly in our relationships—how well they are working…or not.
MORE LOVE IN YOUR LIFE…..RIGHT NOW….All The Time
So what would it be like to think of the LOVES in our lives in general? Of all the things in our own lives we love—-that can slip out of our consciousness on a day to day basis. Since YOU are the only one with YOU, 24/7—-what if you could spend some time revisiting and refocusing on the loves in your very own life right now?
REKINDLE THE LOVE IN YOUR VERY OWN LIFE
Yes, I know I am screaming at you with these headlines—but I am yelling just as loudly at myself. Because sometimes I forget—how much and how many things I love. And, how they are right here, all around me. All the tiime. And, with almost no effort at all, I can fill my very own life with love and not depend upon, or expect someone else to provide it for me.
MAKE YOUR OWN PERSONAL ‘LOVES LIST’
So, for this month of love, get ready. Every other day, in February, you will receive a question to help you focus on the things that bring you joy, that you feel passionate about, that are with you all the time. Maybe noticing them again, will do you a world of good….especially on those days when the other ones you are with might not be showing you the love, you would love to feel. You can say, “Thank you very much, I’ve got it goin’ on anyway.”
Just a suggestion, too. Write this “Loves List” down, as we go through the month—-then, you will have it to refer to forever—so you can access—-in an instant—what is all ready there. An All-Access Pass to Love The One You’re With!











What a GREAT reminder. Right here, right now, what is right in front of me that I love and cherish and can CHOOSE to love and cherish… things like a staggering view of the mountain out my window…. a rich, quiet cup of good french coffee in the morning…. a power walk right out my front door… reading a good book before I drift off to sleep…. crawling under clean flannel sheets with the love of my life…. the best friend any girl ever, ever had…. the voices of my sweet daughters…. and on and on and on. Thank you and hugs and kisses to you!
Great idea, Peggy. I too will be looking more closely at the Loves in my life and giving thanks. Love, Dotty Rowan.
