What's Love Got To Do With It?

[whatsitsface]

The state of affairs in this life of mine has left me pondering the idea of LOVE quite extensively. I realize this is no new idea but for the first time in my mature (ha!) adult life I have really been giving this one some thought. "Love" is everywhere...I love my kids, I love my cat, I love my new sweater, I love chocolate ice cream. The word

I think that love in it's purest form is simple, effortless, easy to take for granted even. It's the love you give to your children. More than that, it's the love they have for you when they are very small. Relationships are always work, but there is comfort in seeing someone and never feeling the slightest shred of doubt about what you feel for them, or them for you. It seems that love between adults is never that easy. There are always conditions and doubts always exist. Letting yourself love someone, and believing that they love you takes faith, and is a risky prospect. I have been with the same person for almost all of my adult life. There have been trials to be sure, and doubt, and risk, and times when I'm sure that if we hadn't had kids or cats or fish or whatever to think about that we would have thrown in the towel. But right now, this day, I look at him and there is not the slightest bit of doubt about what I feel for him, or what he feels for me. Might some doubt creep back in some day? Perhaps so. But for now, I am thankful for this day, and wouldn't trade it for the world. I think everyone deserves to have this kind of love, even if it's not forever, because really, after all, what does last forever?
