So during an orientation process yesterday at Ryobi, someone
asked me if I knew what the bottom line was of what we were selling, what was
it that Ryobi does? The answer from me
was “We sell automobile parts” He said, “we sell quality automobile parts..” This made me think.. In my life, and as a person, what am I trying
to sell. I want it to be “I show people
love and consideration”…I am not a lovey dovey huggy person…but I am a very
LOVING caring person. My job in life is not to make money and have nice
things. My purpose is to make you feel
like you’re loved the way I want to feel loved.
Most of you that are reading this are definitely loved by me, and most
of you have really felt that in one way or another.
In my lifetime, I have hurt people, and I purposely pushed
some people out of my life. Others people
I can’t and won’t shake. I can honestly
say that even through the hurt, I have loved you. Love isn’t always romantic, love isn’t always
easy, but it is always with the best intentions. I have messed up; everyone does. I try to do what is right, and sometimes I
have to think with my head instead of my heart.
That doesn’t change the feelings I’ve had. I promise you that if I have ever said to you
that I love you, even jokingly, I truly do.
My life has changed a lot in the last year. I lost a whole lot of loves on a day to day
basis. Even though this is true, and I
miss my Wabash family; I love that I still love so many of you. Happy Valentine’s Day to you. I do really love you guys, all different
kinds of love of course, but changing location doesn’t remove feeling.
This morning I got a letter from the most important man in
my life:
“I love you
It’s really just that simple. And
that’s one of the things I’ve learned from you over the past few years. Love doesn’t have to be complicated and you
can feel it for almost anyone or anything.
Love is what it’s all about and like the Beatles said “it’s all you
really need”. As I watch you loving people in our lives, I’m learning from you,
it can be easy. I still have difficulty
in that area but I’m getting there. I
like to see your smile when you look at Lucy.
I like to see your smile when you look at me, or Zach or jenn. It’s not just a smile; it’s the love that
comes through with it. Those things are
connected aren’t they? The smile and
love. Yeah, it’s the simple things I
love about you. Thanks for teaching me
more about love and the simple things.
Happy Valentines Day
Love
Gary”
Yeah, he’s probably not going to be really happy I shared
that with the world. I do have the most
wonderful man though, all you other girls, eat your hearts out.
Okay – gonna eat my salad now.
Kiss someone today..and hug them tight. I’ll be home at around 6 if you want to hug
or kiss me. I’m always open for hugging
and kissing..;)
