Day 45

I am thankful for love. Love is everywhere, and all around us, yes on Valentines day, but also on every other day of the year too. Sometime all we have to do is open our eyes, and our hearts to it and we will see that truly love is all around us. All you need is love, right? Really, from the beginning of our lives love is a very important factor in our lives. Im not overly optimistic, we are not all fortunate enough to be borne into love. But if in the unfortunate experience of not being borne into love, that lack of love is still an influence in your life. Thus, love effects your life no matter who you are, no matter what. But back to to positive! Love is every where in our lives, we are borne into the love of our families before we can comprehend what love is. Whether you have a significant other or not if you look around I am certain love is somewhere in your life. A best friend always there for you, a family member you know loves you by the look in their eye, the stranger in the grocery store you have yet to say hello to. Love. Even when you are scorned by love, feeling alone frustrated and angry, love is there. It fuels you to continue on no matter how much you hate it, in your heart there is promise of renewal and we venture forward in a quest of some unification with another.

I am thankful that we can find this connection with others, with relationship partners, friends, family, strangers, people everywhere, heck even pets! no matter if you love it or hate it, love is a present in your life and the pivotal moment in complete happiness is opening your eyes and heart to this love and accepting it! Not that I think I am fully to this point, if you ask me it is a life long journey. But of you look around today, I am certain you will find love somewhere, if not everywhere around you! XOXO
