LOVE, Kloudiia

All the best things in life come packaged in a ribbon of risk.

You untie the gift, you assume the risk, and equally the joy.

Parenthood is like that. Marriage is like that.

Friendship is like that.

In order to experience life in the full sense,

you expose yourself to a bottomless pit of vulnerability.

That is the essence of true love.

Mad cat or lovely cat?

You tell me your decision at the end of this post. 

Have you heard of people saying don’t bring your anger to bed? Do you agree?  

I agree. But I wasn’t the one who said that, though I’m one of the avid perpetuators.

Brenda had a “fuming” nickname in her msn tonight. “Hmm, something’s gone wrong. Must be” I thought.

So I started to chat with her, and this was what went on (the words may differ slightly as I’m writing it out from memory)

K: “Wha, so angry? Cool down girl”

Real giving is when we give to our spouses what’s important to them,

whether we understand it, like it, agree with it, or not.

Just when I wrote about the importance of loving your partner the way he/she wants to be loved in the post – For Him It’s Hugging. For Me…

This quote nicely ends that post in a subtle yet beautiful tone.

First you build your castles in the air,

then you build the foundations under them. 

                              ~ Henry David Thoreau

An inspiring quote I came across and thought it to be most apt to share on this day. Dare to dream big and let your dreams fly my friends.

On the start of a fresh new year, amidst all the celebrations, fireworks, cheers and hugs, isn’t this the best time to build your castles in the air and the foundations under them?

We’ll see each other at the top shall we?

Love is being stupid together.

The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.

True love is …

… when you’re still playing the game after the game has been won!
