Unconditional love!!! AC WORKS NOW

Hi all!!

Can I say my tribe and ALL my buddies are wonderful?

Been learning a real lesson this week. That your true friends love you for who you are, not what you do. Real love means you may not always agree with the person, but you love the person anyways.

I got this in my email and I thought it fit, even in a friendship:

I heard an old song on the radio that made me think about those of you who are in love or those of you who are looking for love. A hit song back in 1968, it’s a love song called “Bend Me, Shape” by The American Breed. But when I heard it recently, I began to think about it in a totally different way. The chorus goes:

Bend me, shape me
Anyway you want me,
Long as you love me
It’s all right
Bend me, shape me
Anyway you want me,
You got the power to turn on the light.

It was the bend me, shape me anyway you want me refrain that caught my attention. In short, true love doesn’t require bending and shaping because when someone truly loves you, they accept you for who you are. Sure, a minor tweak here and there is always part of the connecting process, but bending and shaping suggest something much more dramatic and transformational.

So, my message today is about love and happiness. Simply put, if you choose someone who loves you for who you are, you won’t have to deal with bending and shaping yourself to maintain love. As I write that last sentence, I’m reminded of those who marry thinking they can eventually change their spouse. Sounds like bending and shaping to me!

Wishing You Great Health,

I agree Glad hubby loves me the way I am and I can tell you, I am anything but perfect. We always say we are both crazy, that might be the reason we get along I mean you do change in a relationship.. a little at least, nothing mayor. But I think you do change and adjust to your partner. Like hubby used to be very aggressive and mad all the time (not towards me, just in general) and I wanted him to work on that. Which he did I bet if you ask hubby you could tell you a thing or two he is working on me to change But if you see the big picture I guess you can say that you should be able to stay the person you are, even in a relationship.

Absolutely, Kama! Why would we want to make more work for ourselves with all that? Isn’t a relationship about making life easier for both of you? Well, that is part of what I think of when I think of a partnership.
