Valentine's Day is just around the corner and it's time to celebrate love in your life. Whether it's your husband, wife, brother, sister, mother, father, friend, neighbor, son, daughter, or whomever needs a little love, try to extend some extra kindness this week to someone you might think needs a little reminder of how special they are. It doesn't have to be "romantic" to be love. Love is all around us, everyday. About a year ago, my daughter started going up to trees and hugging them. Yes, I was so proud. But I swear I didn't teach her that! (I wish I could take the credit). It's so amazing to see how little ones just gravitate towards showing their love to all things great and small. They are the "fruit" of our gardens. I don't have as much time anymore with two little ones to tend to my gardens, so I consider them my garden. I tend to them daily with as much love as I can give. I know that life can be short, it can be unfair, and it can be hard. Every day I have them to remind me of how life can also give back to you through the love that you give.
Here are some love quotes to help inspire you this week:
We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You
can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going
to get on by itself. You've got to keep watering it. You've got to really
look after it and nurture it.
--John Lennon
May no gift be too small to give, nor too simple to receive,
which is wrapped in thoughtfulness and tied with love.
--L.O. Baird
Love is always bestowed as a gift --
freely, willingly, and without expectation....
We don't love to be loved; we love to love.
--Leo Buscaglia
Life is short and we have never too much time for gladdening the hearts
of those who are traveling the dark journey with us. Oh be swift to love,
make haste to be kind.
--Henri Frederick Amiel
