Monday
First day of the Love Month
The Love Month has begun, the Heart's Day fast approaching.
People from every corner of this world have prepared for this season. Some planned and organized surprises, some are expecting these; some are waiting for invites from their "someones"; some have saved up for the special occassion, some are willing to spend much; while some just thought of simple yet exqusite celebrations. Different strokes, for different folks.
Whatever the kind of preparation one has exerted for this season, the common thing among everyone else is that efforts and sacrifices have been made, to walk the extra mile, for a loved-one.
Love has been defined in many ways. Different references give us all kinds of wonderful meanings. But it all boils down to the same thing; a selfless act exerted by one person for another. An agape love or a brotherly love. It is, after all, God's commandment - to love our neighbors than ourselves.
Love does not only apply to couples, it also applies to friends and family. One is capable of loving not only one special person, but also those who are around. If one does not learn to love those that are "just around", how could one possibly learn to love a "special someone" dearly? It must start somewhere. Somewhere where love can grow into a much more fruitful tree that abounds so much that it overflows to the heart of the one you truly love.
Love begins somewhere. It's just lurking around. Sometimes it's just around the corner, where you didn't expect it to be. Sometimes it is with someone you least expected. Love can be surprising and enticing. Be careful not to be caught off guard. :)
Let the love begin.When you love someone, all your saved-up wishes start coming out.~ by Elizabeth Bowen (1899-1973) ~
