Feeling the Love

Y'all rock!

12 yes's to my previous question

I knew it in my gut; was just hoping to take a short cut on my journey

Silly me

The funny thing is every year I watch some rendition of A Christmas Carol

I thought I had seen them all

My son and I sat down to watch one last night

And I was amazed to find so many little tidbits of wisdom

The one that made the most sense (impact) was

"I will live in the Past, Present, and Future! 

The Spirit of all three shall strive within me! 

I will not shut out the lessons that they teach!"

So let's just say I'll add that to the comments list

Makes perfect sense; fits in with what you all said

All three form us

Now, where's that couch

Now I need to share something wonderful. I went to the mailbox and found a box. Yep, another one! I opened the box and inside found a box. Isn't it wonderful?! Love coming at me from another state. From someone I hardly know. I follow Lisa's Priti Studio blog, enjoy reading her words and gawking at her art. But as I mentioned in my Word for 2011 post, on the day I was fighting with accepting 'Love' as my word for 2011, I happened to visit Lisa's blog and read an amazing post. She was actually giving away her art. What?! Why?! How is that possible? In the moment I was feeling the commercialism of Christmas bearing down everytime I turned on the tv here is someone giving it away. I was curious and went to visit her shop and the first thing that caught my eye was the box. I took a closer look and saw the Amore. I couldn't ask for the gift but I had to let her know that her post and box validated that I was choosing the right word; no matter how much I fought it. Serendipity. And she responded asking for my address. I felt like a mooch. And yet, I swallowed my pride and accepted the gift. Amore. I did it with an open heart accepting the offering from someone who opened my eyes to pure generosity. Love in a new form. I'm putting the box on my little altar and will fill it with notes of things I'm grateful for.

So that when I'm down, I'll open the Love box and feel the Love.
