    When I saw my babies for the first time. Wham, the love mainline kicked in immediately.

    Not ever surprised by love, but sometimes by people who demonstrate love! I once left my purse outside on the ground where I was sitting eating an ice cream cone waiting to get into the museum
    Gallery of Florence. We finally entered the gallery, I went all the way through only to then to realize I left my purse where I had been sitting.
    I ran back out and there was my purse in the same spot with the man who had been next to me. I retrieved my purse from the ground. The man smiled at me, got up and then walked away. He had been guarding my purse the whole time. I donโ€™t know who he was but always remember his kindness to a woman he didnโ€™t even know. To me that was an act of love.

    One time, I began having a small panic attack in a restaurant, and my friend asked me if I was okay. It was a small act, but I never forgot it because it was just nice to know that somebody cared.

    I was surprised by the force of love that came out of me when I was faced with the illness of a loved one.

    Surprised? Hmmmโ€ฆI donโ€™t know about surprised, but having an open tender heart and giving love freely, can expose you to love. Itโ€™s out there and itโ€™s in you. Being loved by someone is great, but itโ€™s not in your control. Feeling love for people, situations, places, music, books, and nature is always possible.

    Children often surprise me with love. When a child, one I don’t even know, comes and hugs me, it is one of the best experiences of life!

    One time, my mom put an envelope with cash in it in the car’s glove box compartment, that said ‘From The Gas Fairy’. My ex and I had driven up to Pa from Fl and getting ready to drive back I noticed it. Loved it๐Ÿ’—
    Happy Easter everyone:)

    When I realized it was within me all along. I have since maintained a good relationship with it, and it has blossomed in so many ways all around me.

    Since I was young, I have witnessed the power, grace, and fortitude of love at work, and love in action over and over again. What surprises me is why some people seemingly have yet to discover for themselves what love can do and bring.

    Not surprised by love but upheld by it. This quotation is one which I repeat to myself often.
    โ€ The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases,, His mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning new every morning, great is Thy faithfulness O Lord great is Thy faithfulnessโ€

    When I look into the beautiful landscape where I am right now, there is a tree and the blue sky behind it, meadows and so on. It is uninterrupted. It is fullness there is no single spot where there is nothing. When I go closer to the tree there is a beautiful bark with ants . There is life and beauty everywhere. If it is big or if it is small there is great aesthetic . Birds are singing. The wind creates wonderful sounds in the leaves of the tree. Isnโ€˜t it love manifesting everywhere with great joy. And I am here, right now in the midst of it. Or is it all within me? Happy Easter everybody ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿฅš๐Ÿ’

    Every dayโ€ฆ. Maybe I can say every moment. Love lives in my heart. Love is my guide that I can always rely on. It is a huge gift that I received in mourning.๐Ÿ’›
