Love Writings: The Holiday of Love

Loving Love Inspires the Heart to Create Words that Gives Love its Life.

I love holidays. Well, not really because of what they do to love many times. It seems as if the holidays brings on such a pressure to the nature of love and I can’t figure out why.

Growing up, I can remember the feeling of excitement that a holiday would bring. Oh yes, it was all fun and games until the extra time together seemed to bring out an increased awareness of the pressures of having to fill that extra space with actual love intentions between my parents. Oh, don’t get me wrong, my parents were very devoted to each other, but it is something I just noticed as a kid. At that time, I just could not understand what I was feeling about it all.

As I have grown up, I have continued to notice that the Holidays do indeed bring with them a certain amount of stress. Maybe it is the extra time together that does call for extra attention to your partner. This is especially true for the big days, i.e., Christmas and Thanksgiving. Good grief, I have never seen so much stress with those days. There are usually story after story in the news about it as well.

So, with the Fourth of July coming upon us here in the States, while it is not quite as stress prone as most, there is still extra time that is devoted to a partner that may need to be dealt with.

Now while you may surround yourself with friends and cookouts, etc, be aware that your partner needs some holiday loving. Although I am not a proponent of any more love given on a special day than a regular day, I do want you to be aware that there is a perception that love should be more bountiful on these days, especially if you are new to the whole idea of a daily love routine and have not been so great at showing love in a consistent manner.

Begin the holiday the day before as you begin to set the stage for the love of having extra time together. You will need to approach your partner from an appreciation standpoint and tell them that you are blessed to be able to have extra concentrated time with them that may involve friends and family. You need to also tell them that you feel fortunate to be able to spend your day with them and that no matter what your plans, that they are the focus of any extra time together, even if you have a huge party you have planned.

It is all about appreciation, my friend. Setting the stage with appreciation for all that they mean to you will plant the seeds of love before the events of the day ever transpire. Then as the day goes on, you remind your partner that they mean the most to you.

The point of all of this is that you remain focused on the fact that with extra time together, there is a beauty of the relationship that you cherish that will always come first. Do this and no holiday will ever again be stressful from a relationship standpoint.

Well, there is still the crazy aunt or uncle that may shake things up here and there, but you are on your own there, my friend.

In the End, Love is All There is, So Let Your Words be Your Beginning.
