Living Well

Eric's Post
Living Well
 
Loving you
Means accepting who you are
Respecting you
Caring about you
 
Loving me
Means accepting me as I am
Respecting me
Caring about me
 
Loving you and loving me
Is living well

(Roses - difficult to nurture into full beauty but worth all the effort)
 
Loving you and me simultaneously can be a tricky business. Sensitivity to your needs without sensitivity to my own needs or limitations can make it difficult. Similarly the reverse is true.
 
It takes conscious awareness  of both you and me to pull it off. More than that it takes practice: practicing what acceptance of what you and I means, practicing considering both of us when I am making decisions or considering actions. We are easily pulled off this path when we become ultra-sensitive to others or myopic in considering the needs of others.
 
Loving you and me takes practice and conscious determination, but the results are worth it ...... living well.
