Finding Love In Yourself

Find love in yourself
in taking time for you
in celebrating your special gifts.

Find love in your family
in acknowledging each other
in telling each other, “I love you.”

Find love in friendship
in sharing and supporting one another
in knowing you are not alone.

Find love in conversations with others
in listening and learning
in contributing ideas.

Find love
in sharing YOU
with others.

The poem above represents the meaning of love for me. It has taken me many years to realize what is important in life and what is not. What I have learned is that everyday is a new beginning and by respecting me and sharing with others, I find love.

I invite you to spend time thinking about the word, “love” and what special meaning it has for you. Please leave your comments on the Love Yourself - It Matters Blog and together let’s create a new meaning for the word, “love”.
