love lasts in flowers.

45 years of marriage, still buys her flowers every Monday. 

fall,

I've sincerely missed you. 

Welcome back. :)

Love is it

"A thought transfixed me: for the first time in my life l saw the truth as it is set into song by so many poets, proclaimed as the final wisdom by so many thinkers. The truth--that love is the ultimate and the highest goal to which man can aspire. Then I grasped the meaning of the greatest secret that human poetry and human thought and belief have to impart: The salvation of man is through love and in love. I understood how a man who has nothing left in this world still may know bliss, be it only for a brief moment, in the contemplation of his beloved. In a position of utter desolation, when man cannot express himself in positive action, when his only achievement may consist in enduring his sufferings in the right way--an honorable way--in such a position man can, through loving contemplation of the image he carries of his beloved, achieve fulfillment. For the first time in my life I was able to understand the meaning of the words, 'The angels are lost in perpetual contemplation of an infinite glory.'"

love

is the beginning of everything. That's what I heard today when I went to Elder Chad Claytons farewell. What a nice thought. LOVE; is the beginning of everything. I agree. Love IS the beginning. And, it should be the end. If we do things well, the way they were intended to be... then love will be the end, the beginning, and all the stuff in between. I'm figuring out, that its the most important thing we can gain. Faith, knowledge, joy.. all very very important. But if I could pick something to dedicate my life too.. it would be love. "Love is patient and kind; it is not jealous or conceited or proud; love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable; love does not keep a record of wrongs; love is not happy with evil, but is happy with the truth. Love never gives up; and its faith, hope, and patience never fail."


Done through love, everything will be exactly as it should be. 


I never think its hard to love. I really don't. People say it, but they are only deceiving themselves. Your natural instinct is to love. Not to hate. When you begin to hate, you loose a battle with yourself. If you love, you triumph over everything that tries to pull you down. 


This reminds me of the song, "love is a battlefield." In the song, i think she means it as " love sucks, because you can get hurt. blah blah." but I like thinking of this phrase another way. Love is a battle field because everything that is evil, will do EVERYTHING it can to stop your love. To bruise your unconscious desires. To make you think that love is hard, not worth it. And the most grueling tactic... that some one must PROVE they are worth your love. What a bunch of bull though. 


EVERYONE deserves to be loved. Deserves to be believed in. Over and over and over again. and, everyone you meet, NEEDS your love. That's why they are all there. Why WE are all here. 


To love, and be loved in return.


After all, it was the beginning of everything. Right? 

really?

How could i have not known that this kid exists until this past weekend?

You're all fired. 

He is.... absolutely perfect. 

oh, what I would to claim him my own...... ;)

deep love

"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage." 

— Laozi

you deserve your love

I'm sorry. But I just HAVE to share this song today. I know its old, but its such a classic. I had this stupid dream last night, and though this is probably unfair, I'm going to sooth myself using this song. Because I love it. Everything about it. And also because I want you to know this: If you can relate to this song, you have something beautiful. Something beautiful that is never guaranteed to stay. 

LOVE IS BEAUTIFUL! Nothing can make a person feel the way they do when they are in love. Though they may search all their lifetime. Love is irreplaceable.

 Now with this post, don't get me wrong. I am not in love. But I know what being in love is like. and this is my post wishing all of you who ARE in love, good luck. and blessings. and everything else great. You deserve it. All of you. :)

 

A valentines poem

A poem to honour the soon to be here: valentines Day. :) I hope its all super for you!!

Because I’ve never fallen in love, I’ll tell you what it’s like.

Love is a feeling that makes you believe the sun is shining in your soul.
It lets you believe in fairytales, and knights in shining armour.

Love picks you up, and floats you around on a little puffy white cloud.
And will pick fresh pink tulips for you.

Love bakes you cupcakes with yellow frosting,
And grows freckles across your nose.

Love makes the rain warm, and perfect for kissing.
And shares with you flowers that follow the sun.

Love turns you into a bird, and flies you to the horizon.
and makes you giggle on the floor.

Love gives you a grandmother,
And fresh homemade jam.

Love tastes like chocolate brownies,
And has the calories of water.

Love feels like a hot bath full of lavender bubbles,
And lets you make Santa mustaches out of them.

Love brings flowers to your door,
And smiles to multiple faces for days.

Love lives in everyone,
But grows the most in those who give it away.

Love see’s things the right way,
And lets you take a peek too.
