To Know That Love Is All There Is ...

It’s no secret that I am a Journal Junkie. 

I fall in love with the style and the feel,
scoop it up 

and THEN figure out what I will do with it.

Two years ago I came across a sweet little gold embossed leather-look one 

with the ever-so-cool magnet clip that tickles me. 

I certainly didn’t need yet another daily calendar for 2012 

but I bought it anyway and waited for inspiration. 

It came quickly.

At the top of each page I wrote: 

“I Love” …

 and then proceeded to fill each one 

with the many, many, many things I love.

It kept me in an aura of gratitude.

 It proved to me that the

 joy and celebration 

of my world 

is in the small, everyday things.

I decided that this year

 I would transfer my journal over to this form for a couple reasons.

 It’s a good exercise for me to commit 

to writing and working with photos every day – 

it gives me something to show for my year.  

And in the end I will just have to click a button 

and will be able to publish it in a more legible book form that my little journal.

 I love that!

We have Big Love for our family and friends of course … 

but there are a million other

 random little things that 

light our lives and stir our hearts.

 It is my hope that this might move someone else

 to think about that 

which delights and inspires 

them on a daily basis.

I already have chosen the words to go on my headstone at the end of my days:

To know that Love

Is all there is

Is all there is

To know.

This is what I have Loved.
