What is Love?

With tomorrow being Valentine's I had a few errands to run. Every year I get each of my kids a box of candy & search for that perfect card for my husband. Some years it's a funny card & other years it's your more traditional romantic card. I'm sure you all have your Valentine plans & enjoy the day with the ones you love, but have you ever wondered about that emotion....."love"?

It's so powerful. Wars have been started & fought over it. People have done almost anything to have it. Some of these things may be wonderful, while other actions belong on the opposite end of the equation. Whatever actions they take it's because they are desperate to find & hold onto that one powerful emotion...Love. Do you believe in "love at first sight" or is love more of a mutual, feeling that grows stronger every year....almost like it's earned? Is it possible to have both kinds?

Does everyone have just one great love in their life? One person that they are searching for, a soul mate? I used to think this but I think there are exceptions to this. Sometimes, some people get lucky & actually find a second great love of their life. Take for example the couple that are in love & then one of them dies suddenly, leaving the other feeling lost. Then something wonderful happens.....they meet that one other person. They become lucky enough to find another great love in their life........

There's so many different types of love......young love, innocent child-like love, a really deep friendship kind of love, the love of family, a love that you feel for a pet, a heart pounding lust producing type of love, and the long lasting, all enduring kind of love.

Whatever kind of love that you have or are looking for .....keep at it, because even though it can cause heartache & pain it's worth it. The Beatles had it right......"love is all you need".
