Experience love in any way it reveals itself to you today

Hi everyone! i am a proud survivor of a rather awful breakup and i have been through a lot to be able to smile the way i am doing so today. i created this thread in hopes of bringing light to others who continue to struggle with these kinds of situations.

one of the things that has greatly helped me in recovering is the free ebook called 7 Cups for the Searching Soul (it's short but it's a great read, i highly recommend it!). in one of the chapters, i found this short but meaningful sentence that i use until the present as my mantra:

"i choose to experience love in anyway it reveals itself to me today"

love takes many forms, and, contrary to how we feel after breakups, arguments, and other losses, love comes from many--and even greater--sources. it's true that we can feel so unloved when faced with these events, but it's great to appreciate how love comes in many other, subtle forms. your dog waiting to lunge at you when you get home from work, the smiles of children when they are fetched by their parents by the school gate, and the friendly nods of strangers whom you open the door for at the local mart.

even when not romantic, even when not directed to you, love feels really good and warm, doesn't it?

so now, let me ask you this:

how did love reveal itself to you today?

❤❤
