I love you

I love you. ⁠

I mean it. ⁠

⁠

I am so keenly aware that we are all connected. We have a single golden thread that runs through all of us. It runs through everything created on the planet. ⁠

⁠

Imagine seeing everyone as your brother or sister. Imagine looking into the eyeballs of another human and knowing their soul is pure, beautiful, and connected to yours. Imagine if you said, “I got you” to the people you pass. ⁠

⁠

I just got home from the dermatologist. As I left the office I saw two men waiting in the waiting room. I noticed one man's awesome bright blue tennis shoes and the other had cool camo joggers with an orange stripe down the side.⁠

⁠

I am a big believer if you think something nice about someone you HAVE to tell them. So I stopped and said, “I like your kicks” and the fellow's face lit up, then turned to the jogger's guy and said, “I love the stripe down your joggers”. He smiled curiously. I started to walk out then went back and said, “Your turn. Tell me something nice about me.” The kicks guy said, “I love your satchel” (it is an old @Justice bag my daughter @MargotKoechner and @AudreyKoechner carried and @EveKoechner didn’t want. I had laid it out for my garage sale coming up then decided I wanted to carry it.) Then the jogger's guy said, “You are a wonderful person.” We all smiled at each other as I said, “Thank you” to both of them, then I left.

⁠

We are all connected. Look up when you are walking. Talk to the person standing next to you. Smile at the woman who is ringing up your groceries and address her by her first name. It’s the little things. They are magical, they add up, and they take your “normal life” up 10 notches. ⁠

⁠

I love you. ⁠

I mean it. ⁠
