Love Each Other

It's not hard. Spread joy. Love yourselves.

Post something positive about anyone you love, about kindness, about joy....

Let's share the good.

My daughter is about to turn 16 and she is the coolest, most awesome person ever!  She's super smart, but also kind and thoughtful. She's the best!

We're  having a party for her this weekend, to include a bonfire and sparklers and marshmallows with chocolate and graham crackers and I hope it's her best birthday ever.

I love that Kathy had such a positive attitude when she woke up this morning to make such an encouraging post!

 

Thanks for sharin' the good ;) 

Love and kindness.  Easy not to know the struggles another faces or the burdens they carry.

I know a few of the kindest hearted people out there that are inspirational to me.  My friend Alice has always reached out to me when I isolated myself and basically sponsered me at 465 lbs, convincing me that I didnt have to die from obesity and walking me through my weight loss journey. 

Tim and Thom, practically adopting my daughter and I, with their overwhelming generosity, guidance and empowering support.

My oldest's birthday is today. I can still see the joyful expression on his father's face when we birthed him.

He is good-hearted, and responsible. I am a grateful woamn.

And now that I'm back to normal, I don't bring you peace and love, I bring you fear, famine, pestilence! -- Mr. Burns

My E, who is a constant source of support, love, trust, and friendship.  Waking up next to him every morning still gives me a rush.  :-)

My husband is the most amazing man I have ever met.  He is kind, intelligent, and good natured not to mention a little crazy and very sexy.  He has shown me love, friendship, and respect and has always supported me emotionally especially in times of personal crisis.  Because of him I have my MBA.  Because of him I am financially stable.  Because of him I am a better person. 

I was thinking about this earlier...driving into work today.

I'll try to refrain from typing a novel.

My dad...is my teacher, my father, my best friend and my mentor.  He is in my eyes the greatest man alive.  He loves me unconditionally, no matter what I look like and what mistakes I make.  He takes my hand and helps me back up and applauds me when I'm standing tall.

My brother...is also my teacher, my brother and my best friend.  He is one of the most amazing men I am fortunate enough to know.  He loves me unconditionally and no matter what mistakes I make or how I put my foot in my mouth, he is there, to help me, to talk to me, to support me.

My Brian....he too is my teacher, my lover, my partner and my best friend.  He is without doubt the oldest soul I know.  He loves and supports unconditionally and offers a wide array of advice on life.  He is intelligent beyond my comprehension.  He gives wisdom when needed and always advises on a peer to peer level.  He never makes you feel unworthy.  

How I was fortunate enough to have a life that is filled with the people above is beyond me.  I only guess that I did something to warrant this in my past life.  I am fortunate and not a day goes by where I am not thankful for these people.  These people help make up who I am today, and I am proud of that person.  I am proud of the people I love. 

Thanks to all the people on CC who offer their support, encouragement and compassion to others on a regular basis. That includes pretty much everyone who posted on this thread, for one! :)

You really do good here. I'm not a believer but I do love the Christian (and presumably many other religions, too) value of offering unselfish, unrewarded help to strangers - to those who need it most.

The "good eggs" on CC are an inspiration to me and help me feel better about humanity as a whole. Especially in this virtual world where people get so hateful and aggressive and judgmental at the drop of a hat (far more than in real life, because of the lack of social censors), it's a breath of fresh air to see people baring their souls in a GOOD way.

I love you folks. I don't know if I could have done this without you.

Et tu, Trust.

My best friend (who is also my cousin). I swear without her at the low points in my life, I wouldn't have made it. We have the same sense of humour, and have almost a "twin connection".

Everyone needs someone that will always be on your side, and I know that no matter what, she will always be on mine, and me on hers.

I am so grateful, always, for my amazing, giving, and loving parents.

I'd like to nominate Kathy for a Nobel Peace Prize.

Seconded.

nahh...spreading love doesn't deserve a prize...its the default....

Thanks to my mom, who works hard at three jobs to makes ends meet, and then goes out and volunteers to help "the less fortunate". She is truely an amazing woman and I hope I can be half the person she is.

Thanks to my coach of the last 6 years, he is also an amazing person. Over the years he has been my guidence in sport and away from it, giving support when it is needed most and tough love when necessary. He taught me how to be unselfish and a true team player, both in sport and outside of it, and I will forever be grateful for that. Throughout his life he has battled addiction and various diseases including two types of cancer, but he never felt sorry for himself and he never stopped being there for others.

I am incredibly lucky to be surrounded with such amazing people.

listened to a beautiful waltz on the way home at lunch that sync'd perfectly with the flow of traffic...the sun was shining, the trees were green, the sky was blue...it was a simple moment of joy.

my amazing boyfriend, Zachary--

     he nearly died, but is still here with me. i was nearly lost, but he took me back. sometimes i'm frigid, and he warms me. when i bahave badly, he reminds me that i'm a good person. when i behave really badly, he calls me on it. he reminds me that life should be 2 parts fun, and 1 part work. he calls me his princess.

and, he tells me i'm doing good on my diet.

:)

when i was with my ex i gain so much weight and began snoring.so to not wake her up at night i slept on the couch for about 9 month.i would rest my right arm on a coffee table because i was too big for the couch.

i would wake up about 5min.before she did and slipped into bed and  hold her.that would make me feel good.
