Love is many things to different people.
Here's my take on it:
Love is when you wake up next to your significant other before he/she does...and you take pleasure in just watching them sleep.
Love is thinking about your sweetie in the middle of the day ....and it instantly calms you and makes everything better.
Love is making coffee and having it ready for your sweetie when he/she wakes up.
It's making pancakes and bacon together on a Sunday morning- and reading the paper and not having to say a word because each other's company is suffiicient enough to where no words need be spoken.
Love is when you have the flu or a virus and the other person will hold your hair back while you get sick.
Love is spontaneous kisses or a hug for no reason....just because, well, you love them.
Love is when the other person warms up your car for you and/or gets the snow and ice off of it too.
Love is snuggling on the couch watching movies all day in your pajamas.
Love is seeing each other unshowered, no teeth brushed, disheveled- but each person still sees beauty.
Love is always wanting to be a better person-for the both of each other.
Love is inspiring- which is why I wrote this blog today.
Love. My love. How inspiring he is indeed.

30 Days Of Truth-A kind deed you did that no one knows about.
Wow, um, so if I tell you about this then I will blow my cover!
But, the "30 Days Of Truth" assignment is about being very honest. So here it goes I guess.
I've been in the optometry/opthalmology field since I was 17. I'm certified in surgical assisting, a certified paraoptometrist, and a certified Visx Star 4 Laser operator. Now, I'm not telling you this to brag. I'm telling you this to lead up to something.
I won't name any names in this situation. We'll just say I had a very very good friend whom I loved dearly.
Said friend and I had a big falling out.
Before the falling out, said friend's sister and brother in law asked for my help interpreting medical records from an ophthalmologist because the brother in law was hit on his motorcycle by a guy with glaucoma in advanced stages.
I told them I would help in any way I could.
Months after the falling out between the friend and I, I get a call from the attorney of the former friend's sister and brother in law asking me to consult with him and help him "understand" about 50 pages of records showing progression of the defendant's glaucoma.
Now, I didn't have to do it. I almost didn't . I had decided to cut all ties, but then I thought back at how good to me these people were that were asking for my help. You see, because of this guy that KNEW he was almost completely blind but drove anyway-caused a good man his livelihood. And, I hate that for him.
So, I agreed. Last Sunday (my only day off these days), I met with the attorney. I confirmed that indeed, the man that hit my former friend's brother in law was in fact almost blind and didn't see the motorcycle coming.
I explained eye anatomy and helped the attorney understand. I gave him resources to research the eye disease. I gave him 3 hours of my time-actually 4 if you count the drive.
I was offered compensation for my time, but that is not what I went there for.
Albeit, the former friend and I are not on talking terms, that person still has nice relatives that were done wrong and I really hope that the justice system works for them. I mean, the guy who got hit will be in pain the rest of his life-but hopefully, just maybe-maybe my knowledge will help win the case and the guy can be in pain in Hawaii instead of New Mexico.
So, why am I telling you all this?
Because- I realize life is not all about me. It's about all of us helping each other out- isn't that the way it should be?

30 Days Of Truth-A hero who has let you down.
I'll never forget what my good friend Josh said about 6 or so years ago. It always stuck with me, and to me it has always been true for me......... "Don't need a damned hero."
The End.
The End.
