First love...and true love

These are two different loves that I have experienced in my life. Each is totally different in so many ways from the other.

My first love was when I was a young impulsive girl, thinking it was wise and so romantic to marry this handsome fellow so soon after we met. I did not know his true character or weaknesses. I did not know enough to look for the important qualities that would make for a good husband. Years down the road, the many problems in the marriage led to heartache and divorce.

My true love came along when I was older and more mature. I was wiser in my choosing, wiser in what to look for and observe in the fellow; things that would add to making a good lasting foundation in a marriage. True love is built on trust, kindness, consideration, unselfishness, patience and tenderness.

Snow Angels

Those who live in snow country have the delightful opportunity to make snow angels. You are never too old to try it...it brings back the child in you. Go ahead...lay down on your back in an area of snow that has not been disturbed, spread both your arms out and move them up and down in the snow forming angel wings. With your legs you do movements like jumping jacks, forming the angels robe. Now gently and carefully get up and move away from where you were laying, and turn around and view your creation.

Those who do not live in snow country or who have never made a snow angel...so sad !

Time steadily ticks away

Wouldn’t it be nice to stop or slow down time once in a while and to adjust it to our liking? If we are hurrying to get somewhere we could just slow time down a bit; if we think the month is going by too fast for us we could stop time for a day or two; if we need more hours in a day we could fix that too.

But sadly, time steadily ticks away and we can do nothing about it.

Needy ?

I consider myself to be a needy type person at times. Is it okay to be needy once in a while? Once in a while?

Just think of the opportunity for service that we provide for others through our neediness. Besides...everyone likes to be fussed over sometimes. Okay, I’m kidding.....or not.
