Love Other Lovers

    If you are like me, you are sick of the sight of couples.  Couples holding hands down the street, couples kissing on the Underground, couples gazing lovingly at each other over a romantic meal.  And don’t get me started on all those happy couples who announce their engagements after five minutes of knowing each other.

So, on my recent writing holiday, I ordinarily would throw a hissy fit at the sight of two young, hot things getting it on before my eyes.  However, I didn’t this time.  Tori and Nathan were the two most kindest and most caring people I have ever met.  They were also sparking off one another like they had known each other for years.  Now there was a couple that I actually felt belonged together.  I surprised myself by how happy I was when I saw the romance blossoming before my very eyes.  They were a brilliant match and I truly felt blessed that those two sweethearts found their very own sweethearts on a beautiful Greek island.

I would look at these two lovebirds, and not feel envious or bitterness towards them.  Instead, I looked at this pairing and genuinely felt pleased that it could happen to some folk.  I felt their warmth and compassionate nature and tried to take a bit of that home with me.  Could I possibly feel their energy and chemistry and capture that for myself?  If I could box it up and sell it, I am sure I’d make a ton of money.  Well, instead, I’ve learnt that it is time to smile sweetly at such loveliness and embrace this mushy, gooey, honey pot of goodness.  I fully intend to continue to feel more joy for other couples in lurrrve and aim to encourage more delight and pleasure from these Cupid’s target cherubs.

So, let us take note Ladies.  Maybe we need to change that pessimistic, negative attitude and stop rolling our eyes, saying ‘get a room’.  From tomorrow, make it your mission to find a blissfully, happy couple and congratulate them (they may even go the distance!).  Pinch a bit of what they are feeling and let it surge through you.  You may be surprised what you can attract in the process. 

Holiday romance? Ok!

Cupid can fire her arrow in any direction she likes and hopefully one day, it will be fired in my direction and – bullseye - love will be mine.

NB:  On returning from the sunny, island of dreams, Tori and Nathan are still together and it was not just a holiday romance!  Yay!!
