A Splendid Thing

I’ve waited a good amount of time to post something. Because I was trying to figure out exactly what it was that I wanted to say. I would start and delete posts, never fully understanding what it was that I had thought of just seconds before and had somehow forgotten.

I recently watched a video about how you would define love. One person said it’s not being able to explain why I feel the way I do. The other described it as work. I agree that love is work. It’s a commitment between two or more people who are important to you in your life. Love is when after a serious discussion, someone try’s to get you to smile, and they remind you of how much they love you. A few of those people exist in my life. Love is treating people with respect, but also how you would want to be treated. Love is still being present and caring in someone’s life. As Christian from Moulin Rouge would say, “Love is a many splendid thing. Love lifts us up where we belong…All you need is love!!!”

I feel that it’s hard to stay positive with everything that’s gone on recently. Within my own life, and out in the world. So much negativity and what can a person such as myself do about it? Well, I do believe in trying to continue in times of difficulty, just keep going at it, doing simple acts of kindness will help us to feel positive. Make your care for others known. Have a meaningful chat with someone you live with. Make a bed or two. Tell them how much you appreciate them for whatever they’ve done for you, but don’t expect anything in return. Just be kind.

Stay Positive, until next time,
