I Love…

The last couple days I have heard one word thrown out for everything.  It’s a powerful word love and although it has so many meetings I think that it can be cheapened if not used in the right context.  Here are a few ways that I have heard it used in and I may have used it myself.

• I love this weather.
• I love this song.
• I love pizza.
• I love March Madness.
• I love Starbucks.
• I love the Sweet Lord Baby Jesus.
• I love you.
• I love those shoes.
• I love to ________________…

I think you get my point that we use that word love without realizing the power of that word.  I was taught in college that to love in it’s proper context is to provide, promote & protect.  Something to think about when we are throwing out our words to not say it unless we really mean it.

What’s your thoughts on the word love and how it is used?

Underdog’s & Zyrtec

There is something about the seasons changing that gets me all excited.  Maybe it’s because I love change.  I know some people hate it and even fear it but I love change.  I love the adventure and the challenge that it brings.  I love mixing things up and flying by the seat of my pants, which I have no idea what that means and it honestly does not sound very comfortable.  So Spring is coming and with that a fresh start and a chance to maybe even renew some goals that fell apart by January 6th.  Here are a few reasons why I like spring.

• Yes it’s getting warmer which is nice until the humidity is at 80%.  Then I’m ready for fall.
• Yes I don’t have to shovel, de-ice, defrost or layer up.
• Yes I will spend my weekly allowance on products like Clariton and Zyrtec.
• Yes I will have an extra hour a day to convince my children to go to bed even though the sun is still up.
• Yes my car will have a fuzz grow on it for weeks no matter how many times I wash it because of a little thing I like to call pollen.

Ok so maybe those don’t sound like a whole lot of great reasons to celebrate Spring but what about these?

• March Madness is here!  Honestly Thursday and Friday should be a national holiday.  Christmas is great but there is nothing like picking the underdog to win and seeing it happen on your bracket.  This is the happiest season of all.
• Spring Training is nearing completion and baseball is about to start.  Which means road trips to ball games with a friend as I get challenged with presidential trivia.
• I get to put the top down on my Jeep…oh crap, scratch that, I had to sell it…Yes I’m BITTER, back off.
• BBQ…pretty sure that is enough said right there but in case you missed it…BBQ, there it is again for you.
• I love the mountains but I really like the beach.  I’m just not a fan of the sand.  Love the boardwalk or maybe it’s just all the food on the boardwalk.  Either way its a ton of fun for us and the boys.

So those are just a few things.  What are some of your favorite parts of Spring?  What is your favorite season?
