Redeeming Love

On page 181 of this book.

so far i'm amazed and my comment is:

this is one of a few quality historical-romance that doesn't make you get that romancey lovey dovey feeling but instead teach you about love.

i DID keep on asking: God, could i marry someone like that guy from the book?

and all the same He keeps reminding me that this book is not written to show you what an ideal husband is like, but rather set an example of how a man could live a commitment filled Love, not always a feeling-full romance.

Spreading Much Love

The sweetest blog:
http://muchlove-anna.blogspot.com

her blog made me wanna draw hearts and put them randomly. everywhere.
she made me wanna spread some love. even on mondays. and tuesdays.
she inspires me.
anyways,
have you spread some love today?

they teach you how to love.

Dogs are the craziest.
You hate them.
You get mad at them.
You get bored with them.
They can sense it. and they can be really mad at you too.
But 10 minutes later they'll come back to you wagging their tails.

They know how to trick you. They know how to quickly take dirty foods and yucky tissues without you knowing. They know you don't like it but they do it anyway.
They are naughty.
But sometimes all they do is put their paw on yours and lick your cheeks.
Sometimes they seems insensitive, jerking you everywhere on evening walks when you're on your worst mood.
But they know they love you anyway.
They love you even though you care for them only for the sake of responsibility.
They love you even when you don't have any treats.

It's true: give your heart to a dog and he will give you his.

and please, don't ever believe in doggie movies before you have a dog. it's never a fairytale to have a dog. it's hard. exhausting. emotion quenching. but you ought to have one, even if it's only once in your life.
because somehow it teaches you how to love.
