They say that love conquers all, but that’s not really true. Some burdens are so heavy that even love gives way. Sometimes love does grow stronger because of adversity: sometimes you don’t appreciate what you have until you’re in danger of losing it. So don’t stall. Give it your all today before something goes wrong, before you have regrets, before you begin to be overwhelmed with guilt.
A few years ago I made friends with a very nice lady who had lost their entire family to the Holocaust and the one thing that she said that really struck a nerve was no matter how happy you are today, tragedy can strike at any moment. Even if you do draw together because of tragic events, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the tragedy won’t win in the end. Then I thought to myself that’s depressing but then she went on to say the love you give today won’t protect you from some horrible event, but it will be felt by both of you and it can never be taken away.
This was the tip that she passed on to me: If you’re not the demonstrative type, don’t let that stop you from sharing the feeling you have for those you love. Send a text, post a hello on their Facebook wall, send a little love note from Blue Mountain .com. Be creative and go out of your way to do something special for them. If they’re close to you, they’ll get message.
