… Love … Sweet … Love …

popping in to say I am thinking of you while we are traveling…

“Love is the medicine that accelerates healing. 

Love yourself,

love your neighbor,

love your enemies,

but begin with self-love. 

You cannot love others until you love yourself. 

You cannot share what you do not have. 

If you do not love yourself,

you cannot love anyone else either.” ~Don Miguel Ruiz

Happy “would have been” 30th birthday to our Alex

wishing each of you Love and more Love all ways

I look forward to visiting with all of you again toward the end of this week  OXO

  4. And of course, I love those hearts! I stopped by earlier and tried to leave a message, but my computer froze and I was left in the cold (more so than you can imagine since winter has finally set in). I hope you are having a good time and silently celebrating Alex’s birthday with thoughts of love, sweet love.
