On the Lighter Side: Smile, Laugh and Reflect

Greetings to all,

A few images gathered during the week…

I realize we are passed April Fools Day, and I thought this was creative, although a bit scary.

I am starting to do the same… going back to books. I am reading one of my mentor’s mentor books, from 1970. It’s amazing how little has changed. It could be today’s news. I’ll write more along these lines in an upcoming newsletter.

I want to close with something I read this morning in Jill and Robert Malone’s newsletter. They are in their 50th year of being together.

There are those who talk the talk, and those who walk the walk. Over 50 years together, still in love, and still frisky. And, back in the day, they all said we were too young. They were wrong.

Forget playing it cool, find someone who’s genuinely obsessed with you in the healthiest way possible. Someone who can’t go hours without talking to you. Who misses you after being apart for a few hours. Who expresses love freely without making it feel like effort.

Society shames clinginess like it’s toxic, but there’s a huge difference between codependency and someone who just genuinely loves being around you. A clingy partner isn’t checking your phone or controlling your life, they’re the person who texts you random I love yous throughout the day. Who wants to spend quality time together because they actually enjoy your presence.

Who shows affection naturally without you begging for it. Who makes loving you look easy because for them, it is. Meanwhile, emotionally unavailable people treat basic affection like a chore. You have to ask for attention. Beg for texts back. Request quality time like you’re scheduling a business meeting.

They make you feel needy for wanting what should be automatic in a relationship. Life’s genuinely too short for that. Find someone whose love language is showing you constantly, consistently, enthusiastically that you matter. That’s not clingy, that’s partnership.
