i thought so...


love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get -- only with what you are expecting to give -- which is everything.
~katherine hepburn


  • i posted this quote and photo last night.
  • i woke up and realized i have more to say.
  • you all have been very giving lately.
  • i've been sort of absent in your worlds.
  • i want to say i'll be there soon.
  • i don't want you to think i expect your visits, but i'll not return the favor.
  • i've just only been able to find it in me to "get stuff out there" here.
  • but i know if i visit you all, i will find so much inspiration and encouragement, as well as opportunities to encourage you.
  • so know i will be there and am looking forward to it.
  • thank you for being the kind of people who will give support and love even if there is nothing to gain... without looking for anything in return.
  • with valentine's day close-by, i decided to do a "ten days of love" series... ten posts about love.
  • i don't think i'll ever know the true definition of love, but there are a lot of good things written about it out there that make you think. so i'll be sharing those with some photos for the next 10 days.
  • i've never read the four loves by c. s. lewis from cover to cover before -- only excerpts or chapters, and that out of order. but i like what i've read thus far, so i decided that by valentine's day, i'm going to read the whole thing front to back.
  • i'm sure you'll see some quotes from the book over the next several days, as he is probably my favorite author.
  • i hope you have a lovely day.
