My friend knocks on the door and hugs me, so happy to see me, so happy to love me. And that feels right. It feels like love. I’m grateful and I love her right back unconditionally, with no qualifiers.
The challenge lies in loving somebody who’s deliberately unkind to us, somebody who wants to use us, or blame us for their attitude. And when we rise to THAT challenge, we know what love really is. And that feels right, and even more gratifying than what’s easy.
Let’s embrace the challenge and the certainty of love.
Smiles, hugs, gold stars!
