I've been thinking about LOVE lately. And how we're lucky to ever experience it. When we think of love, we think of all the times we've had reciprocal love---someone liking us back. But I found a new twist on love that is bordering on the profound. A new way to look at it. Unselfishly. I'm learning to be grateful for the love that I feel for others. You really gotta wrap your head around this and think about it. So stay with me here. Think about a sibling. Or a parent. Or a good friend. And now think about what you love about them and the warm feeling you have when you hug or hugged them. This is what we need to be grateful for. Whether they're living or passed on. This extraordinary experience of feeling love is what I'm grateful for. Not the give and take love you may try to measure on the love scale with others, or even take for granted. But the ability to unselfishly remember and cherish and feel the power that is within you to Love.
