Celebrate Love

You’ve got to get up every morning with a smile on your face, and show the world all the love in your heart.  Carol King

This lyric from the song has great deal of meaning in its simplicity.  As we enter February, we see  many commercials and items to celebrate love.  It begins with ourselves.  It is important to fill yourself up so you have something to give.

We all have problems to deal with and it is easier to shut ourselves down. Even something as simple as a smile at another or a kind word can bring on an upwelling of loving feelings.

Showing love can be a decision, rather than a feeling.  

I find when I teach at the Cancer Center, no matter how I am feeling when I walk in, my spirits are uplifted when I am able to give from an open- hearted space.  I watch others fill up, leaving feeling calm and centered.

When you wake up tomorrow, cultivate a feeling of showing love and kindness.  You will feel more content from the inside- out.

Let me know in the comments below how focusing on love works for you.  Were you able to show care and kindness to yourself?  Was it easier to show it to others?
