LOVE

LOVE
in the smile of the woman
I invite to take the spot in front of me
in the line at the store

LOVE
in the voice of cashier
when she skips a beat and finally replies
to my "thank you kindly -- have a great day"
method of replying to the automated placing of receipt in my bag
'o-oh-oh -- you too!' she says like she means it

Quite appropriate considering the time of year.

Recently losing love myself,
This post drives to my core.

funny how a lack of love in your life can suddenly make you see all the lovely things around you.

I wonder what being alone on Valentines day is going to be like..

Great icon, first.

Second, thanks...I try. Sorry to hear you are going solo on V-day...I have love, but I don't think I'll be any more occupied than you on the day.

Look at it this way...I've been 'with' someone for valentines that were lies, so ~

shrug

~ thanks, and good luck one way or the other.

I'm so glad I'm not the only person in the world who loves everyone.

Welcome. You're not alone here, at all ~

so glad you liked it and grinning at you merrily

I missed seeing this...

Somehow I missed seeing this. It's so true.

I hope you haven't forgotten this post in the years since you wrote it. I hope you're still complimenting women who rarely hear kind words spoken in love to them.
