Today, my honey and I were standing in line at a retail store just waiting for one of the cashiers to call the next in line. We had never seen this cashier before, nor her us. After we approached the counter, she asked "How are you two lovebirds doing today?" We laughed and said that we were blessed to have another day to enjoy and that life was pretty good to us when you put things all things in perspective.
Now, she's not the only one that has made that remark to us. The lovebirds thing. A restaurant that we go to frequently for breakfast, they will sometimes annouce "the lovebirds are here" when we come in. People comment on how happy we look whether we are together or apart. It is both an honor and wonderful to share mutual love, appreciation and respect with someone.
It feels good to know that people see that you are happy together. That when you are with the right person in life, it is good.. It's like coming home. You can be yourself and be comfortable.
We are both (for the most part) positive, upbeat and caring. And we've had enough experience to know life is short, to appreciate what you have and let go of things you can't control. Live and let live and embrace the good. Put the good into the universe and share with others.
Have to admit, I like being part of a pair of lovebirds.

Wonderful! ;)
ReplyDeleteSweet post!
ReplyDeleteI really like your outlook and truly believe that postive thinking and appreciation for good things that happen to us, are the "secret" to a happy life.
I was lucky to have been a part of that duo with my husband when he was alive. We were just so good together. Rich used to say that we were like doves. They always stayed together. And now I've got Bruce who just puts a smile on my face everyday and I him. Great post. Nice picture too!
ReplyDeleteThat is so terrific that people see that! I love seeing people holding hands well past their teenaged years. Makes me happy.
ReplyDeleteIt's the perfect time of year to act like lovebirds, eh? Spring in full bloom. Chirp chirp!
ReplyDeleteLovely post about you two lovebirds! You are so lucky to have found your soulmate and your love obviously shines out to other people as well.
ReplyDeleteOh you make me so envious! Great to hear people saying that about the two of you. Geoff.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! Before my husband and I became a 'we', our friends all just assumed that we were together as a couple. We were and still are so in synch with one another. It's nice to be part of a pair, it really is. Thanks for making me smile and remember all the blessings I have. - G
ReplyDeleteOh what a beautiful post! Lovebirds are gorgeous. The world needs more lovebirds. XO
ReplyDeleteYAY! Keith and I get that comment a lot, along with giggles and looks (maybe because we're so old and still holding hands!) Hope you and your partner are lovebirds always. Nice picture, too.
