Showing Love

janicepovey by janicepovey Minti Founder(April 2007) (rank 29th)

I FEEL THAT LOVE IS THE ESSENCE OF LIFE.

Since we only travel this road once that i know of, never miss an opportunity to show those around you, which you care about just how you feel.

And speaking as a older person this road of

life gets alot shorter as time goes by, and any guesture of love shown is recieved with much warmth.

I believe love is just a word made up of so many emotions and gesture's.

A newborn's first touch with love is  the momment it's placed in a mother's arm.

Children need that touch of love through out their lives, but none more so than their early years. As i believe it gives them the foundation of who they become.

Love can come in many form's.

A gentle hand; placed on the shoulder, just to say i'm here.

A hug at anytime, to say it's ok, i'm here for you or to say I love you.

A praise of an achievement even for the simpliest thing, as a scribbled line drawn on a oiece of paper.

Tender Care, for a grazed knee with a kiss on the forehead, a hug and a bandaid.

Approval, a certain look with your eyes to say a task well done, i also believe your eyes are the window's to your soul and can show so much.

And Affection, shown at anytime, in good or bed times, can mean alot, i'm here, i'm a friend, love, i care, i'm sorry.

I believe those three little word's " I LOVE YOU" are the ultimate gift in life.

Re: Showing Love

How right you are Janice,those three words are so easy to say especially when it is really meant.When my husband and son recently went to New York  my son on returning said to me "Dad really enjoyed the whole New York experience, especially the completion of the Marathon, but  the whle time he was there he was missing you"........I had actually packed secretly in his case a card with the words I love you and he was really pleased.Even though we know we love each other there is still always the need to tell each other and I don't just mean in relationships but some families find it embarrassing to just tell each other.

Yours was another lovely write up. Thanks

Love Pauline

Re: Showing Love

 Not so much now Pauline but  when Steve was working he use to travel all the time with work and I use to also make little notes letting him know how much I was missing him or telling him how much I love him and place them in different compartments of his case, so he would find them at different times.

Thankyou.

Love Janice

What a nice comment; just think when your son does come out and say " I Love You", how good you will feel.

It'a just so good to hear all these lovely  comments, about how everyone feel's when they hear those magic three little words, "I l OVE YOU"

i agree and even if you are angry never go to bed upset with them if you cant help it,,, say I love you .. and when someone leaves the house say I love you also even if you are upset with them ,, cause this could be the last word they hear from your mouth ,,,

Re: love

 I totally agree never go to bed upset or angry. I always tell Steve I love him before going anywhere. I feel it is important.

Great Advice - All my kids here "I love you" everyday  . .

My 7 yr old still jumps into my bed each morning for "snuggle time" . . People say to me "isn't she getting a bit old for that" and i alsways tell em as long as she is my daughter she will never be too old . .

Cheers Kellz

It's so true.  I tell my son all the time I Love him.  We actually have a little song we sing:

Mommy Loves Donavan
Daddy Loves Donavan

Etc, etc..... we go on.  When he really wants to play, everyone ends up loving Donavan.  And we play the other way too.  He loves lots of stuff.

I think it's important to make sure you tell your other half a lot too.  I always tell my husband at least twice a day.  At bedtime and whenever he leaves the house.  Even if I'm angry with him.  I'd hate for him to walk out the door one day, have an accident and the last thing I said to him wasn't "I Love you".

Those 3 little words...
Well how nice, and how could you argue with that.  As you have pointed out, for those who may have trouble expressing those 3 little words, there are many ways to show love & I think, that in the end, we all strive to be loved.  What a lovely article to read after getting home from work on a cold rainy night - it is full or warmth - & LOVE.

Thankyou for your lovely remarks and i'm glad  my little advice made for nice reading. There should be more love in the world instead of  hearing about all the sad things happening.

More Love would make our world a better place to live in

What a lovely article, thankyou. Im 30yrs and i still love nothing more than when my mum wraps me in a big bear hug and says 'I really love you". I tell my kids everyday numerous times how much i love them and they in turn tell me they do too.

Beautiful Article!

I think to show someone that you love them is THE most important thing in life because it lays the foundations for everything thing else, it tells someone that they are special and that they are worthy of life. I tell my boys countless times everyday that i love them. They could be just sitting watching t.v or we could be playing a game together or they might just say something cute or funny. They never get sick of hearing it and they always smile when when i say it. I do think i have to try and do this more with my husband as i tend to get so focused in my boys and unintentionally neglect him.

Thankyou so much for your comments, i hope it was just a gentle reminder, i think at times we get caught up with every day life and we tend to forget to let those around us know how much we love them.

Janice
