L-O-V-E

There are so many varieties of love...but it all comes down to the fundamental truth that love is why we are all here. It's about loving others. Loving what you do. Loving life. Loving yourself. And above all, loving God. This is the ultimate love. It is the example set for us to follow.

I love love.

You know, sometimes you have to be in your darkest moments to realize and understand the most basic concepts of life. I've always known how important family is, and how blessed I am with mine. But when you are going through a rough time and the only people you want to talk to are those who raised you, those who know you and LITERALLY will love you no matter what...that is a WHOLE new understanding of what it means to be a family! When i feel like I'm going crazy, I can turn to my family and they will love me...even if I DO sound crazy. It's so cliche to say that your family is always there and will always love you...but it's so true...and you can't fully grasp it until you are blessed enough to go through an experience that requires you to pull yourself out of the situation and look at all the love that God has put into your life.

Ok, so that was a little more serious than I thought I would go on the first real post...but it was on my mind, and I wanted to take the time to thank my family for all they have done, and for loving me unconditionally, even in the most dire of circumstances.

This post was primarily on family love. I'm sure there will be other love postings throughout...because there's nothing more inspiring and fulfilling than love. (Yes, I am a gushy-mushy sap...deal with it.)

More to come...
