How do I love thee…

Isn’t it nice to be loved? For big reasons, small reasons, or even no reason at all, other than you are you. The craving we have to be loved and appreciated, validated and enjoyed is a universal human phenomenon.

There’s something quite lovely about being as appreciated as enthusiastically, as richly, as authentically, as practically and as humbly by someone as much a child is about her new pink boots (and even, or maybe even especially, if it is said in an “over the shoulder, I’m busy” kind of way):

We all long to be simply, deeply and wonderfully loved.

People come to counselling because they want their spouse to delight in them in a loving way

It is wonderful to know you are loved in a real way.

We all long to be loved. We all need to love–in little, big, ordinary, spectacular, warm, cuddly, official, practical, spontaneous, and planned ways.

Go, let someone know that they are loved by you.
