Maybe you know what I’m talking about, and maybe you try to show your love, but we can usually all improve ourselves on this. If you had to die today, would your family and friends know that they were really loved by you. Would they have good memories to hold onto for the rest of their lives? If you feel like you need some romantic ideas to let your better half know they’re appreciated, see what you can find on the internet, but first of all, remember to tell them you love them!

I have found that no matter how tough a situation is, it is still what you make of it. I’m reading such a good book at the moment (Tuesdays with Morrie – a true story), and quoting it roughly the one character says that one should allow oneself to go through an emotion. Whether it be fear, hurt, grief, whatever. Feel that emotion, sob until you cannot sob any more, experience that emotion, and then detach yourself from it. You should say, this is fear I’m feeling, I know what it feels like, I have experienced it, but I’m not going to let it control me. Same with all the other negative emotions. There is no shame in being emotional, in fact it shows that you’re not merely breathing, but you’re alive.

I’ve also got such an amazing group of people in my life. People who are loving, encouraging, and who want me to be happy. I have so much to be thankful for!!
