To Love and Let Go ... How difficult it can be.

17:41 3/11/2008

Sometimes it is difficult to let go of someone you care so much for. Someone that in times previous you figured was the one. When I think about it though, How can you truly know. Love is not so ideal as the fairy tales have it. Love is difficult, an involved set of emotions pulled together that results and a true caring for a person. And if things do not work out. Perhaps they find someone else and marry them then what? Is there anything to do or do you just move on. Is it so difficult to overcome the memory and move forward? Sometimes it truly seems that way. I still care for her but must reside in the present and leave the past in the past. How difficult something so simple can be.

Another Story

And so it continues, a new year long past, Valentines flying by just as all time does. What did you do for valentines? Did you subscribe to the commercial hype or remember what the day is truly about. The history of valentines may be quite different then you have heard of before.

You know I was talking with my girl today ... well actually the 14th. And she asked me "Where is my Valentine Gift?" I thought about it for a moment, and my response ... "the best gift I can give you is within your heart, in the knowledge that I care for you so much and love even over an ocean. My valentines gift to you my girl is in the deeply rooted love I have for you and to the excitement of our future. That my dear is the best gift I can offer you." A moment of silence passed and all she could say was "Thank You." To realize how much an effect that had on her ... helped me to remember that though Valentines Day has become commercialized the underlying celebration of love that presents still resides and will until the end of times.

The power of love my friend is an amazing thing, Valentines Day is about those you care deeply for ... that you offer your heart unconditionally. And for that I am thankful as I hope you are also.

Thanks for taking the time to Read ... And no matter how much Valentines is commercialized never lose sight of truly what it is about ...

So the story continues, in love you learn, in relationships you grow. A constant challenge that is life, that is existence. Relationships the enigma they are and will continue to be. Ongoing life, with an ongoing journey. With the death of a Grandmother I realized something that life is definitely a gift, and in a relationship so it becomes all that much more valuable. Life must be lived fully, not allowed to just pass you by. To share this gift that is life, you understand, and take the steps to make it the best it can be. With Valentines Day coming soon you realize flowers for the one you love or chocolate to make the day all that much more better. I understand that it is a holiday that celebrates love, and that is a wonderful thing.

So Look upon the options and realize the potential of making this fine day a true celebration of the one you love.
