I Feel It In My Fingers

Hey  y’all

This is my first Summer of Love post.  I was supposed to do one last year but some stupid got in the way and that post about how we were searching for a pretty little sable pussy Burmese cat on the Internetz will just be lost in the ether.

But here I am to talk about Love!

I think folks may be SICK of hearing me talk about love because I am undeniably in love with my Husband Brad and he with me. We are annoyingly affectionate in public. We are not gross or anything. It’s just that we are not afraid to touch, look in each other’s eyes and grab a quick kiss. Even if it is in the Walmart parking lot.

And I know about love’s trials and tribulations–in detail.

But when I first thought of writing for Karl I thought of this…

I was asked recently to write some words of advice about marriage on the sash of a bride -to -be during her bachelorette party at the place where we karaoke.

I was overwhelmed with things to say to her. I wanted to tell her all about the highs and lows and how it mattered so much to listen.

But what I wrote was this…..

Remember to be kind to each other

Admittedly simple and we all know the devil is in the details but still…..be kind. Not in the zombie dead sleep walking through life sort of way either.

Love the person for who they are and let yourself remember why you love them.

And tell them.

Tell them every day. Over and over.

In whatever meaningful way it is that works for that person you love.

If you pay attention you will find it.
