The Type Of Love You Need
I can’t teach you how to love someone. It’s not that simple. It comes naturally. It’s like you just know. You know how to.
Will there be off days. Yes. Of course. But not painful days. That’s not love. Love shouldn’t be painful. That’s young love. The jealous controlling painful love That’s not the same. Love is having your life. What you need. Happiness and someone adding to what you already have.
See the difference... I want to add to your life and you add to mine. I want our time together to be amazing, fun, secure. I want you to be at peace when you’re with me and not have doubt.
I don’t want you to change me. I want you to see things in me I don’t see in myself.
Listen we have learned life is short and unpredictable.
Stop wasting it away. No doubts. No second guessing. Just happiness. Calm. Good times. Real. Nothing forced. Nothing painful.
Do you have that type of relationship? If not. Fix it.
Easter Crafts
By now we would have had a huge egg hunt. Been to egg hunts. Had breakfast with the Easter bunny. I swear I almost forgot to even do their baskets. I finally ordered ones because I didn’t have the mindset to actually go in a store and make one for them. Not because I didn’t care or have time. Funny time. Trust me I have the time but because my mind isn’t there.
So I had to toughen up I ordered baskets. I took out Crafts and I said let’s get in the Easter spirit.
We plan on making Easter bread this week and coloring eggs. We will also make homemade pasta and a lasagna. We need to try to adapt to our new norm. Things are changing for everyone but we have to still see the good in our day. We cannot stop living.
Please don’t fall apart. Please try to make the best of your situation. Please try to keep traditions alive. This is our new norm for now. Embrace it.
Not Your Typical Palm Sunday
It’s Palm Sunday. One of my favorite holidays and due to the virus it started as just a typical Sunday. I wanted to make lunch a little special so I stopped at our favorite bakery and picked up croissants and monkey bread from Wave Hill Bakery in Norwalk.
It’s great with ordering. You order ahead and use a card to pay. Then you go to the door and they hand you the order. Super easy and delicious.
It’s not the Season of lent without Strufoli so I stopped by Angelia Mia for one. It’s nothing like the homemade one we are used to making but at least it sort of felt like Palm Sunday.
I stopped by a friends this morning to do some distancing walking and she handed me a Palm that her mom had.
It made my day.
After I picked up my kids and we stopped by the cemetery to see my Grandparents. Every year I visit them on Palm Sunday. I normally bring them a Palm Cross but since I wasn’t recently at the store I couldn’t get one but I was happy to see my mom had brought them one.
So many of the holidays aren’t the same lately. Maybe Palm Sunday and Easter seem different due to lack of family and traditional meals being made BUT you can still add some little touches to you day to make it special. Add your own traditional twists to your days.
I can’t wait for next year when we look back and say remember last year when we...
Happy Palm Sunday to you all! Don’t worry the best days of our lives are yet to come.
We Aren’t Suppose To Fix People But Love Them
I won’t change you. Please don’t change me. But...
We don’t have to “fix” people. We have to dig deep within and help them see the beautiful parts of themselves. We have to love that part of them. Once they feel it then it does change them.
Imagine have deep pain and someone coming along loving you. Making those pain diminish. You help them forget because they are now focused on the good. The love you’re giving them.
Loving hard doesn’t always backfire and if it does so be it.
What Makes Something Special?
It doesn’t matter what it is. If it felt good in your heart then it’s special.
When was the last time you did something that made your heart happy? When was the last time you shared a special moment with someone?
