« love thursday »
A small wooden heart made in Kenya, and purchased by me at Cost Plus World Market in Houston. Photographed with Nikon D300, 60mm lens.
I've been taken lately with how much I love being home with Marcus and Alex (and yes, even Rufus). We are very lucky, and I know this; and there is a lot of unabashed love in this house right now. I do not take this for granted, either - in this day and age, it seems to me when you experience true love of any sort, you should hang onto it like Grim Death. Every night, I say a silent prayer of thanks, and fervently hope our family never, ever outgrows this.
I suspect that each of you have love in your lives as well -- whether or not it's love of a partner, a parent, a sibling, a child or a good friend. Please take time to celebrate this love today with a simple gesture -- either with a hug, or a thoughtful e-mail, or whatever. And I fervently hope for you that your relationships never, ever outgrow it.
Happy Love Thursday, friends. Please leave your stories or links to your words or images of love in the comments below.

Happy Love Thursday!!!
I reached out to my sister this morning and I'm looking forward to basking in the love of my dogs this evening.
Happy Love Thursday to all!
Here's a link to an image and story of the love of friendship:

Before I read your post, I wrote an e-mail to my brother, who lives in the middle of the pacific. I'm going to see him on Tuesday. I haven't seen him in a year and I wrote to say how excited I am to see him. Then, I read your post. Happy Love THursday!
I am so lucky in love. True love found at the age of 43 and found in the heart of someone I've known for 30 years. I bask each day in the wonder of it. And of course there is my sister ... a different kind of true love, sister love.
Happy Love Thursday ... Kath

My family is a bit far flung, and haven't seen one of my sibs in a year. We are getting together at my house over the 4th and we'll celebrate the holiday, but we'll also celebrate each other. It's always so good to be together. It's "home" when I'm with my whole family--no matter where we are together geographically. Happy Love Thursday!

I am a lover of teeny tiny things. Your heart is beautiful.
My Love Thursday is about my "Rufus".

I love this picture. I really do.
Karen, I know what you mean. I treasure the time spent with my husband, our three children and our pets! Here's a simple, sweet moment of mine:
