Since my rediscovery of my life, I have realized there are many things that I aspire to do. It started out as a thought then a drawing and now it has transpired into a list like form. I guess one could call it a “bucket list” but I think it is a thriving list.
This list consists of dreams, silly things as well as really self-care geared things. On my previous “thriving list”, I had hoped to find happiness everyday even if it is only for a moment and recognize it in the moment. The quota has been fulfilled and then some for that item on my list of life.
On my new list, there is an item that I thought would be somewhat challenging. However, I was pleasantly surprised that it is not painful nor frustrating it just is. I challenged myself to say, “I love you” to at least one person who I truly love at least once a day.
It is so nice to be able to express my love to people whom I truly do unconditionally love. And not to mention so refreshing to hear their response.
I have realized that love does not have to be a hug, or a gift or something tactile. It can meanly be a person’s presence or a word or something you feel. Love is truly unconditional and sharing that love is unquestionably a very powerful and eye-opening experience.

This is really wonderful! Go you!

Thank you for sharing. Powerful. I cannot say I love you to people and really feel it in my heart. Not just yet that is.
How wonderfully put! “Rediscovering of life”. I love it! This is exactly what healing is all about… Good for you for getting to this place and good for you for having aspirations.
glad to see
love grows
:)
My husband and children have never had to guess whether or not I love them. I tell them nearly every day.
