The 'Cost' Of Love...

   Although, I have, always, more or less, felt this way, I know, NOW, better than ever, at this stage of my life, that, the BEST things in my life are NOT things, at all; and, though, none of these, 'things', has a 'price-tag', which makes them valuable, they are 'treasures', beyond description. A great part of what I appreciate are the family and friends I have, and, the love, which is shared between myself and them, with this, being invaluable, without question. One of the GREATEST, 'things' I have come to appreciate, though, is the love I have for myself, along with a full-appreciation for who I am. I know, as well, that, if I wasn't able to feel this way about myself, my relationships with others would be less, complete; for, it is in learning to love ourselves, completely, that, we come to know how BEST to love others, in our lives. When we are able to recognize our, self-worth, and treat ourselves with the same regard and respect with which we, ideally, treat others, labeling ourselves 'friend', and, honoring ourselves with love, the residual-effect of this is incalculable, impacting on ALL the other relationships one is involved in. Having others in one's life...'immeasurable': Knowing, that, they love you...'precious': Loving them better, due to love of self...'PRICELESS'! Just Sayin'...
