El Amor

Hello, Salutations, Greetings

Already February, eh? Nuts! Almost as nuts as our cold as nuts weather. Nuts, Nuts, Nuts! (I was on a roll). Hopefully everyone is curled up at home with a warm cup of cocoa beside the one they love. Lord knows I'm not. Hah. Feelings are a mother tucker, right? It's funny how our feelings don't have a manual. I think things would be a lot simpler if there was. It's funny how you have absolutely no control on how you think you should feel. For instance, to put an example. I went on a couple of dates with a nice guy, very nice, text book really but didn't feel it. you know, "it". I asked to remain friends, I think we are still but I sat down with a friend to talk about the situation and said this, "It would have been a lot simpler if I felt something for him, but I didn't" now see, simpler being the key word. simpler. huh, I guess in this life anything really worth it, you know really really worth it is not simple at all. Then again how could something like Love ever be in the same sentence with "simple".

I saw the movie "Blue Valentine" recently (fitting since it is the month of Saint Valentine), really great flick, great actors, then again I am biased about one actor in particular. One thing I do advise is to not see it on a first date, or second date for that matter. Without really revealing too much about the plot, it really took a frank look at Love and how it evolves, and how it happens for both parties. It also got me thinking, where does love go when things fall apart, or don't work out? It's not like it can get wraped in bubble wrap, placed in a box and shipped off into storage. To me, I think it' evolves, and depending on who you shared this love with, it can evolve into something great.

I love the song "Cool" by Gwen Stefani, I'll always think of one person when I listen to it. Weird how life happens that way, kind of fitting seeings where I'm going to next week. Go figure!

Anyways love bugs, stay warm, fill your hearts with "El Amor" and give it back!

Yours in l'amour,
N.
