A simple day of love

I drove my son 35 miles to Davie, Fl to take his weekly tuba lesson. As I was in the early throws of a nasty allergy attack, which have been hitting almost daily and really suck the life outta me, I was thinking how much I do not mind driving him, paying $40 and waiting an hour til he is done. Why? Because I love him.

When you love something, or someone, you, or I, will go to any lengths to show it. Love is demonstrated by actions.When its love, its so simple. Doesnt mean I sacrifice me for him. There are days I cannot do for him, when I need to do for myself.

After the lesson, we went to Shortys Bar b que, delicious food! We laughed and told funny stories and enjoyed each others company. We hold hands in the car and he thanks me multiple times for driving him ad paying for his lessons. He shows his love with verbal acknowledgments, hugs and kisses.

Its the simple things that mean the most. How lucky am I?

What does love look like?

This was a question I had in my head today, so I googled it. Google, like mother, always knows best. This is what I found. Have a great Sunday, peeps.

"What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like."

-Saint Augustine



So what does love look like? Love is giving up your 'rights' to the remote control. Love is leaving a quarter in a meter. Love is stopping to open the door for someone. Love is giving up a good seat for someone else. Love is offering a ride. Love is making a phone call, sending an email, writing a letter, baking a cake. Love is putting others needs before your own. Love is a small moment in time when, in a me first world, you put someone ahead of yourself.

Love isn't just a feeling or something couples experience. Love is a choice, followed by an action, then turned into a lifestyle.

In other words, my friends, Love is action. :)

Love

Love is................action. - Mother Teresa

What action have I taken today to show ANYONE a little love:

1. A young student was verbally assaulted by an instructor, and I affirmed his feelings and reported it to a supervisor, assuring him it was being attended to.

2. Made blueberry muffins for work mates, passed them out, told them they were "Made with love".

3. Stopped at grocery store to get buns for the Manwichs that Jackson has been craving.

4. Made said Manwichs for the boy. :)

5. Helped a workmate out with some documents she needed.

6. Buying some items my boss needs for a special event we're having

Just a few things to show love, appreciation for people I care about.

The 9th step is about taking action.....which means showing love, no matter what the outcome.
