Focusing on Life - 6 of 52

For my entry to the Inspired By Winter Blog Hop, scroll down or click here.

This week, Sally challenged us to "feel the love."

Growing up, I learned that love presents itself in many forms.  My dad may not have been the first to say "I love you," but he was always there to play a game with me.


My mom would always, without fail, let me have the last cookie or brownie or slice of pizza.  Giving up chocolate?  That has to be love!


Now married with a kiddo of my own, I am learning about that kind of love:

the "spending hours looking for her blanket so she can sleep" love.


I couldn't resist sharing the "I'll sit here if you want (but I'd rather be chasing my tail)" love.



My absolute favorite, though, is the "get ready for the biggest hug in the world" love.


Sally, thank you again for a wonderful week.  

Please take some time to visit Sally's blog to see where the other participants found love.
