Loving Someone VS. Being IN-LOVE With Someone

 

Water & Trees......

Sometimes in life we need to get away, to have peace, room to breathe, think and just be . . . 

We can sometimes wrestle with the hustle and bustle of life and we sometimes forget to take a step back and take time to slow down and reflect on life and what's important and what's not.  We get wrapped up in household bills, credit card debt, sick family members including pets, what to have for dinner, buying a different vehicle, what to wear for work... the list goes on and on.

While dealing with life, having love in your life is nice.  It definitely helps to weather the storms with someone by your side to talk things through.  

In relationships,  have you ever asked yourself, do I love this person, or am I IN-LOVE with this person?  Let me tell you there is a vast difference between the two.  You can 'love'/'care' for someone and NOT be IN-LOVE with them.  

What's even harder is feeling you're IN-LOVE with someone, only to find out they're NOT IN-LOVE with you.  Them 'loving' you isn't the same.

It's in moments like those, it's important to reflect on life.  Do you want to continue down this path?  Are you content with the way things are or is it time for a change?  

These are things to contemplate, taking time out of your busy schedule, by finding a quiet place to be alone and think.  While you don't HAVE to find trees and a river, getting back to nature sure helps.   There's no one there to bother you ... no phones ringing, provided you shut off your cell phone! LOL. No one is walking in to interrupt you with questions or anyone being angry.  It's just you and nature.

A big thing I like to do is create a 'Pros' and 'Cons' list to help in making my determination on things, whether in love, finances or whatever large decision I may need to make.  It definitely helps to get things down on paper to actually SEE what your thoughts are.

Always remember to take time out to reflect on things and to take care of yourself!  You're one of a kind and irreplaceable in life.  Don't forget that! 

I pray that you're happy, healthy, safe....

      And I pray you have P.E.A.C.E. in your life!

I'll catch you on the flip side!
