Love Is
...little ballerinas, concentration, hard work, cat pants, cat skirts, cats and dance living forever, valentine rings, socks, cards, chap-stick, and candles, Cheshire (the blue bike), The Batavus, Jean-Pierre, kitty kisses, bike friends, sunrise in the rear view mirror, hand written I LOVE YOU's, a thriving 3 year old Christmas Poinsettia, handmade leotards, pedal wrenches, getting lost, Life's Little Instruction Book, sharing ice cream with little friends, Festival, an apology, goofy dancers who love chocolate, goofy dancers with mustaches, the best sugar cookies ever, cupcakes, Valentine treats from dancers to Festival, handmade gifts from two real life princesses, thank you notes, bedtime snuggles, coffee dates with great friends, dinner dates with others, spontaneous group hugs offered by 3 year olds, returning ballerinas, many smiles found in a cup of free coffee, employees that always show up excited to work, a mom that always has my back, witnessing the smile of a child receiving a Valentine card, hugs, encouragement from my biggest supporter, a Kleenex to dry my weeping eyes, phone calls to check in, witnessing the courage of young dancers owning up to mistakes, Sunday morning ballet class, neighbors who care...and probably most of all...the love letters that have filled the dressing room mirror over the past two weeks. Not sure why it was started...but let's keep it going! Proves that love isn't made or shaped in known time or structure...it just is....
May you each seek out the ways in which your own life is enriched through the kind and gentle love offered by those around you...accept it with an open heart and give it back freely! Then spread it like wildfire! Find peace in your love...offer it without bounds, limitations, or parameters. And don't let others dull your sparkle. My wish is that you each experience honest love without regret.
Get over it...say I love you...more often than you do now, and more than you think is necessary.
