A NEW BEGINNING MERITS A TITLE CHANGE

It has been a really long time since we have published a message on this blogspot. There was a change in location, the death of loved ones, and the burial of the computer under a half ton of garbage of one kind or the other. We have attempted to dig our way out and get started again because writing gives such great meaning to the one who has a gift for writing.

Now that last statement might just be debatable. I did get some criticism on the former name of the blog. It was quite uniquely titled but when others picked up more or less the same title they suggested I find my own title and suggested I might have some unsuitable material on the blog.

Unless they have reference to responses to the blog I have no idea what they might be suggesting. I am, however, renaming this blog to be more fitting to the subject which involves the love for life and living.

An individual who is not happy with his or her own life is generally suffering from feeling unloved or not getting his or her needs met. It is really just about as simple as that. I recently read of a teen who was in therapy for suicidal ideation. The only reason for the suicidal tendency seemed to be the fact the kid did not get but one designer outfit each month (she wanted three). Well, there just has to be more to life and living than designer fashions.

What do you personally think about making love in it's purest sense a foundational basis for life and living. And, why don't we love instead of only seeking love. That's right; I just mean to love everyone around you. I'm not trying to start a new Hippie Movement or anything like that. Let me share in two articles, things I recently found on love, the first is a poem which inspired the new name for our little blog. Check it out and tell me what you think:

QUINTESSENTIAL LOVE
When there is honesty... When there is understanding...The willingness to sacrifice... When one does not take advantage of the goodnessof the other... In the absence of hate... vengeance... outrage... When there is compassion...When loyalty is free from betrayal...When love transcends material things...Then your love is pure... It is a Quintessential Love!!!

Next week I will share this little article I found that will perhaps define the love I speak of today.
