From The Book of Awakening: Having the Life You Want by Being Present to the Life You Have.

In the end, it is not enough to think that we
know. We must live it. For only by living it
can Love show itself as the greatest principle.

At a certain point for each of us, talk evaporates and words cannot bring Love into the open.

In a lot of ways I'm one of those old fashioned in-the-country-show-love-by-doing kind of people anyway... especially of late, as I don't do so well with talking these days. I try not to let myself be misunderstood, but I don't often phrase things the way I mean them and stuff gets taken wrong... so it's far easier for me to show love by cooking a nice meal (apparently my smashed taters are good), or doing the housework, or washing the laundry, or running to get something or do something that I know the person could do themselves, but... well I'm there and I can as easily do it...

By much the same token I'm a touchy feely kind of person. To me a hug says more than a thousand words, a kiss more so still... The comfort of a caring-love can be the touch of a hand on you arm or shoulder... or I'll hold your hand...

But that's just me.

Tonight, I'm looking forward to an evening of taking it easy, playing Wii fit games and whatever else comes of the evening.

I'm that way, too, kinda. I'm wordy by nature (but, again, don't always get understood. Thank the gods that Kent and I have pretty much invented our own language. Of course, now no one understands US. *g*), but the little notes and the notebook Kent and I keep when we work bizarre schedules is another way of showing love.

We have a sunday planned if it's nice weather. Be prepared for it. ;) Should be plenty of snugly interaction then.

I look forward to it :)

Hopefully we'll have a nice snuggly weekend, starting today. I feel in need of snuggles.

And yet you say you're fine when I ask. :p

Assuming my back unkinks we should have a good one. Though part of it is going to have to include going to petsmart, since we didn't do that today.

Yeah, when I wrote this I hadn't told you, because you hadn't called yet... and when faced with the fact that you can hardly move because of your back, what right do I have to complain about a headache? I was feeling sorry for myself because my headache made me feel ill, and I just needed a hug.
