Trust
We are all familiar with the expression, “unconditional love,” usually in association with an ideal way of demonstrating one’s love for another (or vice versa). It is certainly used to describe the love and affection demonstrated by our beloved animal companions. Your pet dog doesn’t care if you have body odor or can’t speak the King’s English. If you’ve been half-way decent, your pooch will still cuddle with you and look longingly into your eyes as if you can do no wrong.
And how good that feels!
Our dear Roxy! All 110 pounds of her! Unconditional love in both directions. We adopted her as an eight-year-old. So sweet and just a perfect fit for our lives!
Love and Hate
It’s only a matter of time before I will be hated, even reviled. Why? Because I’m happy, positive, cheerful and, dare I say, “peppy!”
Yesterday I saw an article on the front page of my browser about all the hate being leveled at actress Anne Hathaway. It seems that she’s just too “peppy,” upbeat, positive and nice for some people with nothing better to do than tear others down so they can feel better about themselves.
Wipe that smile off your face, sailor! OMG! I’ve had that coat 20 years! And what’s up with that hair!?
Love and the House That’s for Sale
There is an old adage in real estate that you make your money when you purchase a property, not at the end of the deal when you sell it. For those of you not in real estate, that means how much return on your investment you get back depends on how well you bought in the first place.
Similarly, when it comes to love, the long-term success of your relationship—and a return on your emotional investment—depends on how well you selected your mate in the first place.
