I’ve been collecting evidence of an abundance of love in my life and in the world, so when I went with my honey David to visit his 85 year old Dad, Frank, and to meet up with some sailing friends, the evidence kept just kept on piling up.
We all stayed at Frank’s house, which was beautiful, very comfortable and filled with photographs of family on every surface and on many walls. So much pride and so much love oozed out from everywhere. I could feel the close connection and deep and abiding love between David and his Dad and between all the family members I met.
Love was in evidence during the entire four-day visit. It poured forth in the form of Bagels and Bialy’s and ruglach (sp?) and Chinese buffets – food, glorious food. And it poured in when Aunt Ethel, Mark, and Aunt Judy came for dinner. It was abundantly and poignantly present when Frank took us to the beach and to where he and his wife used to come to sit and watch people fish.
Aunt Ethel, 85, came to dinner with her boyfriend of 11 yrs., Mark, 89. Both were sprightly, warm, funny, smart and ageless. Ethel told me how they’d met; beaming reminding me that love springs eternal. Mark said to me, “It goes fast. Have fun.” Aunt Judy was still mourning her husband of 50 plus years and that was yet another example of love.
It was wonderful being around family who love and care for each other and who have generous hearts and open arms. Each night as I soaked in the sunken, glassed in bath-tub in endless hot water, I gave thanks and thought, ” I must be doing something right to be surrounded by so much love” and “This deliberate creation/ law of attraction stuff works.”
May your cup runneth over where ever you are and may you see and celebrate love everywhere and always.
