why?

Why is my blog called "to love"?

A little background: I'm not great at making 'New Year's Resolutions', mainly because 1) I forget to, and 2) if I miss just one day of doing whatever I'm supposed to (or not) be doing, I label myself a complete failure - not so helpful!

Instead, in 2012 + beyond, my ongoing aim is 'to love' people more.

Sometimes, historically, I can be moody, judgemental, inconsistent, unsympathetic and occasionally just plain mean. I don't want to be like that - hence my 'to love' aim.

In my blog posts, I want to appreciate, be thankful, encourage and promote good. These are some things I think will help spread the love, or so to speak! Yes, sounds unbelievably sappy - but I challenge you to think about how you could do the same - I think it'll be challenging, but rewarding.

storm

I have a confession.

I actually enjoy a storm.

I love the drama of gun-metal grey clouds - almost blue, white cracks of lightning, the rumble of thunder and sweet fresh rain drops painting the side walk.

When all the drama has ended, I love when I get to stay at home on a rainy day. Hearing a steady drizzle of rain makes me feel relaxed, secure and, best of all, I manage to achieve a lot!
