Love Matters.

I just came across an email which talked about God and it had this line in it: Keep using My name in vain, and I'll make rush hour longer. Blimey! It's one of funniest quotes I've ever read. And the last line was: Don't make me come down there. Haha! Bloody funny...

Anyway, my purpose of writing this post today is because I chanced upon a little book yesterday at the library called Love Matters, written by David Bell. It's a book with a sentence on each left page and a little sketch of a stick-man on each right page. The words are about love, of course, and it talks about "a little wisdom and laughter about matters of the heart". It's one of those handy, easy-to-digest books which you can read in about 5 minutes. I decided to borrow it and well, spill the contents on my blog, haha! Hey, I feel bad, of course...

We all see things differently when it comes to love.

Maybe you're single,

and sometimes feel love has passed you by.

Or you've just come out of a relationship.

You've probably been in love before,

or at least it seemed that way at the time.

Maybe you've had some unusual relationships,

or just kept to yourself.

At times we can all feel inadequate,

a bit awkward,

or just unsure.

Have you lost faith in love?

Or had a bad experience,

and are not quite ready to love again?

Maybe you've decided to be alone,

instead of waiting by the phone.

We all have a story of woe,

and someone we'd like to blame.

Life doesn't always seem fair!

Are you feeling a bit tired?

Perhaps you need a little rest.

After all, what's the hurry?

Stop for a moment and think.

Where are you headed?

Dare to ask some big questions.

Look around.

Don't be suspicious.

Look at what you've been through,

and learn from the past,

but don't carry it around.

Remember all the lovely times

that made you who you are.

You've probably caused some heartache too, you know.

Or you have been careless with words.

Or you've looked for love in the wrong places.

But don't be too hard on yourself.

We all learn from each other.

To overcome obstacles

keep an open mind.

Accept your mistakes.

Trust yourself.

We are all beautiful,

even if we don't believe it sometimes.

Follow your heart.

Express yourself.

Life is full of magic!

And tender moments.

Be open to new beginnings,

and fresh ideas.

Trust is important.

Keep giving of yourself, no matter what.

We all need affection,

and a sense of connection.

Be true to yourself.

Allow yourself some joy.

Delight in others.

Let go when you need to.

The heart is resilient,

if not always predictable.

With love in your heart,

everything is perfect.

Simply perfect!

The most important thing about matters of the heart...

is that love matters.
