February - "Post the Love"

A new month has begun, the month of Love, according to some people. Pardon me if I'm not really in the lovey-dovey mood these days. Actually today of all days, I came home and had a HORRIBLE day at work, full of frustration and anger and just all sort of bad emotions and feelings, and came home to find this posted in my inbox in facebook..... a link.

Actor Channing Tatum today started a site online called "Post the Love", (http://postthelove.com ) it is actually a pretty awesome idea! Check it out! It's basically a challenge to everyone to share the love! Because let's face it, none of us tell the people in our lives how much we love them enough, if at all! Channing, in his intro video message to everyone, encourages people to get creative if they want, "Say it, shout it, sing it, play it, paint it, make it, write it and post it."... this site went up today, and over 1800 people have shared the love on this site! some stories are so amazing, and some are to their parents, grandparents, best friends, husbands, wives, teachers, etc.... it is really cool to see how people have been touched by other people in their lives! And to see just how often we might take for granted such people in our lives! Do we really say "I love you" and "Thank you" enough to people in our lives that have made a difference???

I want to challenge you in the month of February, every day to think of that number of people that you love and are thankful for. For example.... on February 4th, think of 4 people, 10th, think of 10 people, on the 11th, think of 11 more people.... etc.... write those names down, and a reason or two why you love them.... and maybe if you haven' t talked to them in awhile or even if you have, you might just want to share that reason with them.... the reason you love them and are thankful for them! People need to hear those things as much as we need to remember those things! :-)
