This Valentine, let’s fall in love all over again.

If you can’t fall in love with the one you love, love the one you are with. Giving love and receiving love add joy and happiness to our lives. This post is very close to my heart. After living with the love of my life for over 5o years, I don’t only feel blessed, I know it is God’s will. Our marriage is full of trial, error, happiness, joy, love, trouble, disappointments, and frustrations, to name a few, along the way. When things get tough and it is too much to handle, I just surrender my concern to our Lord. The next day, I feel better. There’s a lot of times I feel helpless and hopeless. Somehow, I manage through. The times I felt, I had tried everything, I had done everything, nothing work. I gave up. I started to spend time with myself. I focused on my dream and what I want my life to be.

Almost two years ago, my husband had a heart attacked I had a wake-up call. He spent some time at the hospital. So much had happened after that. I realized I could not count on him when he was gone. I am so dependent on him, I can’t do anything on my own. I started doing things I couldn’t do before. It wasn’t easy, but I can do it. It was not him that was making me miserable. Most of my frustration is from within me. My husband has nothing to do with them at all. Learning becomes my inspiration. I learned so much from my frustrations and spending time alone. It was deliberating. I quit blaming him and took responsibility for what is making me unhappy. It was boredom.

Now, I fall in love with writing and encouraging others to fall in love with healthy living. This valentine, let’s all fall in love, taking care of our health. Exercise, healthy diet, and lifestyle. Walking and water will lead to wellness. Give it try.

Let’s fall in love with life.

Life is a journey. As 2023 has just begun, let’s begin to enjoy life to the fullest. New year means new opportunities. Fly like a bird and look down on your obstacles. Whatever they may be. It is up to you to make your life exciting. We are here to learn and grow through experiences both pleasant and painful. A meaningful life is different from everybody. A meaningful life is a life of satisfying, fulfilling, and engaging. God is always with us to show us the way. He wants us to be happy. If we believe, we can achieve. Don’t wait for the right time. Do something now. Doing nothing is more tiring than working all day. Doing nothing will make you so sleepy, and when you wake up, you will be so tired that you want to sleep some more. I am talking from my experienced. Not unless you want to be unhappy the rest of your life, get up, and do something. You can do a little bit today, a little bit tomorrow, more the next day. Before you know it, you’ll be doing a lot more. You will impress yourself. Moving is the beginning of healthy living. The book recommends 10, 000 steps. For me, just start moving. Just do something. This is the best way to start healthy living. It is in your hands. If I can walk for you, I already did it. That’s how much I love you. Life is good. Enjoy it. Be kind to yourself and others.

1 John 4:7
"Beloved, let us love one another for love is of God, and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.     (NKJV)


Let's fall in love with change

Change will find you in a better situation. It will improve and inspire you to look forward and try new things. It enables you to become the person you want to be. Learning will inspire you to do things you don't know it  is possible for you to do. I just had a situation when I consulted my friends and family members about something I was going through at the moment. They all responded the same way. You can handle it. You will be fine. So I asked myself, "Why  am  I  feeling this way?" Is it love, or is it fear of the unknown? It is fear of the unknown. I decided to change my attitude. I  take one small  step forward each day to take control and responsibility for my life. 

I changed my thoughts to positive and left  negative thoughts behind.  Since then, my life has blossomed and grew like crazy.  I can enjoy all the blessings I already have. My friends and family are both amazing.  They make me laugh, and we  share tears, joy, and sorrow. My furbies  are just as amazing. I am very grateful I have them in my life. 

 I fall in love with the change of communication system. I can reach out  to a lot of people around the world. I was surprised that I have viewers everywhere. That is breath- taking. My prayers are that everybody would  seriously fall in love and take care of their health so they can enjoy life and may also avoid chronic illlnesses. At 72, I can enjoy the best of both worlds. The world I grew up with and the new generation. Both worlds are  precious.  It is a wonderful world. I am thankful and glad to be in it. This valentines Day, let's celebrate love. Let's fall in love, to our Lord, Jesus  who created us and fall in love with each other. Spread love, it will always come back to you. I wish you all love  and happiness. I love you. Happy Valentine's Day to you.

John 3:16

    Cora, HAPPY LOVE DAY TO YOU AS WELL. Folks, every word she says it absolutely accurate. Believe me as a recovering alcoholic (16 yrs drunk), I am in my 6th year sober free from the evils of alcohol and all the destruction it inflicted on me and everyone else. One thing that had been a major coping mechanism throughout my early childhood and far beyond was LIVING IN A FANTASY WORLD. Well, while it helped me as a small child, it also set me up for failure on a biblical scale as an adult. My point is- when my friend Cora talks about self love and joy, it must come from the heart- from your soul. It has to be real. You can not face the real world without living in the present AND being honest with yourself and others along the way. kisses. JL
