I am a very lucky man!!
I am in love with a vivacious, funny, clever, wise and attractive woman.
And even more amazingly, she loves me too!
Like I say - I am blessed and very lucky. Very lucky that we found each other.
I think that to live a fulfilled life, with or without money, the key is to have a life filled with positive emotions, the most powerful of which is love.
They say Xmas is a time of giving and receiving and that the giving of a gift is the best part. I do agree with this, as I do enjoy watching the present being opened and the delight (usually!) that the gift brings.
But I think that giving and receiving should be an all year round desire, as it is very fulfilling and nutures the soul and emotions.
I love doing things for my fiancee, and even when it is making dinner, it is great to feel that I have done something good and even better when I get a smile and a thanks.
Very important the thanks in a relationship. I hadn't realised what a difference it can make until my fiancee started this when we got together, and it is now something that we do all the time.
That is not to say it is automatic - it is always said with love and with feeling and because we want to and mean it.
Love comes in various guises, and strengths, but does make us stronger and more emotional as well. The more we love, the more positive energy we pour into the universe and the more we are likely to get out of life.
My fiancee is such a caring, giving, thoughtful person, even with all the challenges that she has endured and overcome in life (including me at times).
She is an inspiration to me and someone who loves me and looks out for me ,and helps me to improve my life and achievements. I only hope that I can be there for her as well, and try to give back as much as I can.
I feel that I will always have been the luckier person, but that wont stop me from giving back to her as much as I can, and try to be as unselfish as possible in my life - not just with her but with friends, colleagues and acquaintances.
So - being loved and loving someone in turn is to be blessed in life, and to (hopefully) be able to shuffle of this mortal coil having enriched someone elses life who is very special, and touched someone elses soul in a positive way.
After all, love makes the world go round doesn't it? (Because it certainly aint money - what there is of it!)
Sorry if this has not been the most strucutred of dialogues, but I am writing from the heart, and writing it down as I think of it. Better that way, I think, than a clinical dissection of the subject matter or a considered and delivered text (even if it may read better!).
Let me know if you disagree and I will try to write the next blog as more of a professional (or rather beginner) writer.
Signing off for now
Steve
