Just a little love story

  As I was waking up this morning, a child cuddled up to me, I had a thought in my head. What would I say if I was asked to tell something important about myself. I could go to the past and talk about my upbringing and how is shaped me. I could talk about my kids and what motherhood is like for me. Those experiences define me, but I would have to go to the base of everything to really express what I am about. And that base is love. It has always been about love for me. Finding love. And happiness.

  I found the love of my life, the person I would marry and have children with, when I was 21. Pretty young, right? Yes, it sounds young. But to me it felt like I had been looking for The One for a life time, which I had. I think it had been my life goal to find My One True Love since age 12. Yep. That's me. The hopeless romantic. I only had a couple of life goals at that age. I had no idea what I wanted to be, but I knew that I desperately needed to find love in my life.

  I didn't have a lot of role models when it came to happy relationships growing up. No one ever got divorced, but no one really seemed happy. No one seemed in love. There wasn't that much love anywhere if I really think about it. There was a lot of noise. And tears. Definitely not enough kissing. I always knew that that could not be what life was about.

  The question people have when they are looking for love is HOW do you really know? I have met my fair share of frogs along the way. Met some great guys, too. But you know when you know, you know? I know, it sounds like any other saying, but it is true when it comes to love. For me it was the feeling when we were together. It only took one kiss for me to know that I had arrived. That I had found him. Everything was so easy! I was myself! I was at peace! *sigh*

  The crazy thing about love is that it grows. It changes. It morphs from one form to another, constantly. What a beautiful journey! I guess you do get what you wish for, you just have to wish hard enough.

  So there you go: You read it. I guess you are a lover like me. And I hope you are surrounded by love and happiness every day of your life. You deserve it!

PS: There's also a LOT of mayhem in my life every day, but that is another story 😜
