I’m writing this Love Thursday post from my studio in the attic while The Weepies and my daughter Madeleine keep me good company. We can’t stop listening to “Somebody Loved.” Do you know it? Here are a few of my favorite lines:
Now my feet turn the corner back home
Sun turns the evening to rose
Stars turning high up above
You turn me into
You turn me into
You turn me into somebody loved
What is it about the sweet companionship of another dear soul that transforms you into somebody loved? It can happen in an instant–the unexpected smile of your favorite baby, the confidence of a much needed sage, the quiet admiration of a little brother–and before you know it your soul fills up with the knowledge your presence matters.
This Love Thursday I hope you are surprised by all the ways kindness is turning you into somebody loved–I can’t wait to see your images. And if you feel lost today on the road to love, don’t despair. Your eye through the viewfinder will remind you love is all around you, that all the love you need is coming your way, sooner than you think.
"Your eye through the viewfinder will remind you love is all around you, that all the love you need is coming your way, sooner than you think"
Love this! Just the message I needed. Thanks. 🙂
Beautiful words!
Here is the love I get every morning and evening:

I melt.
Though it doesnt really come through in this picture to the typical lay person, I see nothing but love in this photo.

Mine is up here. I had a baby 3 weeks ago and this photo captures the moment my mum met her first grandchild for the first time.

Since the day I held my niece, my life has never been quite the same. I’d spend hours breathing her in-her baby smell would be left on the crook of my arm… She captured my heart and I will never be the person I was before. Not a day goes by that I don’t imagine what my life would be like right now with a baby.
Her happiness, her laughter…

What a beautiful post, and I love those song lyrics.
I just spent a week on Edisto Island, South Carolina with my family, including my in-laws. It was a week full of love and fun for my little boy, and I had a wonderful time using my new camera too. 🙂

This photo doesn’t have people in it, but love was on my mind.

The people in the first photo were completely unaware of my presence while I took this shot. When I look at this photo, I feel forever, and I see love. Even though they weren’t an older couple, this photo to me represents people who have been together for a very long time. I miss fall……

The link might be hard to see if you don’t know that looking at old pieces of military history reminds me of my Dad. One of my favorites from a recent sightseeing trip:

Hi!! In my city, it celebrates the Zaragoza Expo 2008, dedicated to water. I love the water, and this is a picture I made the posters that advertise.

my gorgeous husband-inside and out.
Just recently I’ve become close buddies with my two year old nephew, Asher. He can be very stingy with the hugs and kisses but he asked to kiss me 5 times the last time I saw him. While I didn’t quite capture the pucker, here’s a photo of his sweet face:

At age three my daughter said, "I learn to learn…" It was a rather profound statement, one that she seems to be passing on to her youngest brother. This moment captured is one of my favorites!
