Love!? Each of us experiences love in a different way in the various aspects of our lives. From the love of something special to eat to the love of someone dear to us. Each is different.
I love escargot. To me a pizza isn't a pizza without anchovies. Family and friends who dine with me often shake their heads. I was raised to at least try something once and then I can say I don't like. And yes there are some things that won't ever pass my lips again.
I love my cats. They bring me joy when I watch them play or they snuggle to me.
I loved my late husband. He was and still is my soul-mate.
I love a beautiful sunrise or that frosty snow on trees and grass that sparkles in the early morning sun.
Each of these things is love but in different degrees.
But each of these things pale in the presence of loving one's self.
Can you honestly say you love yourself in every way shape and form. I can't. Not yet at least. I don't love myself when I flip someone off who just cut me off on the highway. I am angry at them but I don't need to be a jerk as well. Instead I should remember to wish them a safe journey where ever they are going.
I am becoming more comfortable with my body image. Heck it has gotten me this far in life, so it is going to have a few knuckle bumps and creases. I keep plugging away looking in the mirror and saying I love you body and soul.
On the road to a positive universe love is a critical part. Kind of like gas for your car.
You aren't going to get very far without gas or love in your journey.
