What Is Love?

I have to admit that my heart is not into writing today for my best friend, my dog Taz, is lying next to me in pain. It doesn’t seem as bad as it did yesterday, but he still suffers and I with him.

I try to keep my focus on the positive most of the time but days like this really challenge me to maintain that mental state. I have been praying and thinking healthy thoughts and healing thoughts all day long.

Because I didn’t feel like writing I thought I’d write something that would mean something to me and him and my wife.

What is love? It’s a word people love to through around, see I just did it myself without thinking. Love means many things to many people. You love a friend, a child, a pet, a spouse or someone very close. You love as friends, as lovers, as a parent or child, you love events or hobbies.

Love can be overused so that it loses its meaning sometimes. But I feel love conveys the strongest feelings of closeness and caring.

Then there is truly loving someone or something, I love my wife more then I can say, I would do anything for her, even give up my life if need be. Then there’s my dog Taz, I would die for him too, I’d take his pain and make it my own if it would leave him feeling better.

As I said, today I really didn’t feel like writing but I have given myself this challenge to write a page article every day, so today I’ll write about love and what I believe it mean.

I love my family and would do anything to help, even those members that have insulted me after I have helped them. To me that is part of really loving someone, doing something for them whether they show appreciation for it or not.

It took me 47 years to find my wife a woman that I care so much about and love so very much. Love is not just about saying it either, it’s the little things you do for each other every day, the touch of a hand, the kiss on the cheek, holding hands as you walk, kissing each other goodnight and good morning every single day.

Love is caring for something so much that you would trade your life for theirs if they were in harm’s way, taking their pain so they would no longer suffer, and be there for them at every turn.

Yes this is a little bit much for most people and not my usual power talk about success, and positive thinking, but I believe that adding love to the equation will do far more for your overall success then not having it. Love gives you a strong reason to do what it is you say you are going to do.

Thanks for listening.
