- freely- without holding back
- passionately - without remembering a grudge
- tenderly- without a hint of being forced
- truly -exposing my underbelly
- deeply -as though my life depended on it
As freely as water pours over the edge of a cliff, I want love to flow forth from me.
Without even pausing for a moment to question the trade-off or the risk: I endeavor to love my husband, my children, my family, and my friends. Yes, even strangers. Harder still, to those who would gain from seeing me fall - my position will remain a loving one.
Beyond the obvious, I am going to work really hard at thinking loving thoughts when a horn honks next door at 2:30 in the am. When I get cut off in traffic - HA! traffic... When someone says something snide or catty, I want to resist the urge to jerk my knee. Turn the other cheek and plant a big fat smooch on theirs instead.
When I want nothing more than to have a moment to myself, but the world just keeps on turning - rather than 'frustrated' or 'overwhelmed', I want love to be my response.
It's all about love. And the LOVE Doctor is in...
