It's a given that I love, with great passion and loyalty, my husband and children. I have to state that at the very beginning of this thought. But, as I was driving home from work the other day, it hit me how much I LOVE where I am working. It is hard, physical work but very fulfilling. I love the residents that I care for.
I also love my dog. She gives pure, uncomplicated and unconditional love. She let's me hold her and pet her and snuggle her like a baby. I'm practicing for future babies in my life.
I LOVE the mountains of Utah. I love the greening up in the spring, the golden browns of summer, the brilliant fire display of color in the fall and the crisp, snow-capped layers in the winter. The mountains are majestic and bold and fill me with awe.
These things touch my soul and make me feel contentment, tenderness, and gratitude.
And greatly loved.
