First there is Life, then there is Love

Happiness, Joy, Love

Hello everyone.

I hope you are all well,

I hope you have love,

in your life.

I saw a video today,

a short little thing,

probably on Tik Tok,

an older couple,

man and woman,

they are waiting for a bus,

these are old people,

80 plus,

he leans over,

kisses the woman,

she receives his kiss,

he looks towards the bus,

she puts her hand on his hip,

he clasps her hand,

the bus stops in front of them.

The text over the video says,

“First there is life, then there is love”

to me that is exactly right.

Life and Love,

what else is there, really?

Health?

Work?

those are both about life,

or love, and if you are,

lucky,

about both.

Friendship?

Family?

also, love.

I feel so privileged,

to have,

the wonderful woman,

that I love in my life,

I am so lucky,

that I have grown,

to be someone,

who loves her,

as she deserves to be loved,

to be someone who sees,

what a treasure she is,

sigh.

I wasn’t always that person,

I was immature and wounded,

that’s no excuse, and this is neither a pity party nor a beat BB up session, it is simply stating facts, I have loved and been loved in my life, but, now, I love better

and that is why I so appreciate,

this love,

in the September of my life.

There is,

nothing,

greater,

than,

love,

all love,

any love,

cherish it,

your family,

your friends,

your pets,

your community.

Because it,

love,

is everything.

Tell someone you love them.

Happy Valentine’s Day.

Be well everyone.

Later girls,

BB
