and ode to Love Thursday

August 14, 2008 By Tracey Clark

Myriam and Karen on the coast of Oregon

When you let love in, joy comes too.

When you live in love you are fearless.

When you love what you do, you can do no wrong.

When you surround yourself with love you are safe.

When you love who you are, you are giving the world the best gift there is.

 

Please feel free to add to this weeks Love Thursday list* with your own words and pictures.

*Written in honor of Shutter Sister Karen who week after week shares unconditional love with us here at Love Thursday. Thank you Karen. What you give to our community and to the world is invaluable.

    I haven’t had enough coffee to be poetic yet this morning, but dang I didn’t know Oregon was so beautiful!

    I posted about young love… a new engagement.

    Happy LT!

    "Love is a precious gift that you receive, and you need to give it with caution!"
    Don’t know who actually said that but I found it one day online. It’s written on a note card now and hangs on my refrigerator for all to read.

    Thank you for instilling a joyful reminder to look for love every week, Karen!

    When your heart is open and filled, you can include so many more. These friends already have 5 granddaughters of their own — but they make my daughter feel as if she is the most special, loved girl in the world.

    What a gorgeous photo.

    This week I’m loving the sun that’s finally shining on our corner of the world. And I’m loving (hosting, feeding and cleaning up after) 3 AT thru hikers that stayed in our home. Today love is not a foggy notion it’s taking care of and getting to know 3 people I’ve never met, strangers who are now friends.

    The love for a child has to be completely blank, or maybe we just have to learn to be completely blank to let that love develop healthy.

    What a wonderful post today and I agree that Karen does an amazing job!

    Here’s a photo of my dear friend and former college roomie who I recently met up with for a hiking trip at Glacier National Park. She found a heart shaped rock one day and I was so excited to tell her all about Love Thursday. And that day happened to be a Thursday, too!
