We like to display our love by being thoughtful and forgiving and kind. We want to protect them and appreciate them and are concerned for their happiness and fulfillment. Everything that is good about human beings is in that one word, love. Can you really apply those emotions to yourself? I think we can. Today as you express your love to the people in your life, don't forget that you are important to someone else who wants the same for you. Your well being is just as important to your family and friends so remember to be thoughtful and forgiving and kind to yourself. Value your health and happiness the same as you do others. It's important to them and to you.
