Made with love

During my high school years I moved from California to New York. That summer I received a box in the mail from my girlfriend back in California. I opened it and realized it was a care package. I was feeling down having to leave my friends in California and my girlfriend sent a care package to cheer me up.

In the box was a bunch of junk food that I liked at the time and a metal tin. When I opened the tin I saw homemade chocolate chip cookies. My girlfriend took the time to bake cookies for me and get a bunch of other stuff and mail it to me!

Those were the best cookies I've ever had. Not because of some special recipe that she used to bake them but because they were made with love. I know that sounds corny but I swear food made for you by someone that cares and loves you just tastes better.

I'll never forget how good it felt to eat those cookies that summer.

Have you noticed that food made with love tastes better?

Mi Corazón

The love of my life broke my heart into a million pieces. This was a few years ago. So needless to say we are not together. That troubles me and probably always will, that we didn't end-up together. Are you with the love of your life? That is assuming you've already met.

It's in the eyes

Have you ever seen a face that looked like home? Have you ever seen a pair of eyes that looked like home? Or heard a voice that sounded like home? I have and I realized then that we are trained from birth to jump into the rat race and focus on what isn't important. Like what we can buy. Or what we wear. Or what zip code our house is in.

When what is truly important is finding home in a face or in a pair of eyes or in a voice or in a touch. That's what life is truly about and those are the only things we can take with us.
