Warning: Genuinely Expressing Love and Appreciation May Cause Happiness

As I write this post, shamelessly snuggling up on the sofa, wrapped in a soft, woolly blanket and holding a cup of steaming tea in my hands, I feel physically exhausted from a cold that seems to be anything than common. But despite the sniffles and chills, the violent sneezes and the brain fog, I am still in a state of bliss, feeling driven to write and share with you this post. 

Would you like to know why?

Because my life is filled with people who are emotionally available. Gutsy individuals who actually take the time to speak words of love and appreciation to those they hold dear to their hearts. Brave souls who bypass the fear of how they will be received and genuinely express their feelings, every chance they get. 

Amazing friends, who send one line emails, like "Hey, just wanted to remind you that I love you to pieces" and a family that starts the day off with big hugs, silly songs and declarations of eternal love.

And to know that, is bliss. 

So, by now you might be thinking something like "Lucky her! She probably got a bunch of calls today from people who care about her, and she got so excited about it, that she just had to share the news with us." 

Well... Nope. No madam, I did not get these calls today. Not even one of them. To the contrary, I was the one making the calls. This rather mandatory time off of work, gave me a wonderful opportunity to pick up the phone and express my love and caring to people I haven't spoken to in a while. And doing so felt soooo good, I just had to share it with you and prompt you to do the same.

What are you waiting for?

Tell someone who you are truly grateful for, how you feel about them.

Let someone know how special they are to you. How they brighten up your day by simply being there. How incredibly, awesome they are. How much you love and appreciate them.

Life is all about feeling connected to other people. Take the time today, to connect and deepen your relationships, by expressing your love and appreciation to at least one person. 

It can be your partner, a coworker, a friend, a sibling, a neighbour, it doesn't matter who that person is, if you are thankful for who they are or what they do, let them know and then take some time to enjoy that wonderful, warm feeling of fulfilment that washes over you after such a rich experience.

Now, I would love, LOVE to hear from you.
When was the last time you told somebody how much you love them? 
Leave a comment below and share your story. What you have to say, really matters... 
Lets connect!

Much Love,
