love

February is famous for Valentines day, celebration of couples, pinks, reds, chocolates and all the things associate with sappy, gushy romantic LOVE. While I am so happy to celebrate the love between my spouse and I, I’m also excited to think more about LOVE in general. You know, the stuff that not only gives life to a relationship but  substance, color and vitality to all accepts of things that are life!  Yes, love in the broader, real and all encompassing respect.

Here is are a some of my sentiments and truths I feel about LOVE scribbled out on a chalkboard*:

Love is kind, patient, honest

Not selfish or jealous

Love embraces all good

Creates all beauty

Enables all peace

Love is the fountain of all JOY.

* Chalkboard was made last year with a UGLY DI (2nd hand store) framed picture that I spray painted with black and white paint. Yes. it wasn’t even chalkboard paint! I totally cheated but it has worked and is still working wonderfully. Such an easy way to add some festiveness!!!.
