Living of Love

Things I love the most about life right now:

-I am about to begin my last "real" semester (with actual classes) in college.
-I will be an aunt any day now. Penny is due to arrive next Tuesday!
-Tonight I am going to the Avett Brothers concert in Asheville! I have been looking forward to this since Septemberish. I am leaving for Utah tomorrow, so this is going to be a perfect finish to the fabulous Christmas break I've had so far.

I have to go finish doing laundry and packing so I won't elaborate on the fabulosity just yet, but suffice it to say that I love my family and life is just grand. Heavenly Father has blessed us with so much this year and we have tons to look forward to for next year as well. So for now I'll close with these lyrics from the beautiful boys who will be serenading me tonight, since they say so perfectly what I feel about living a life of love.

For just one chance to find love with someone that you loved to find -- for just the sense to try to walk ahead and leave the pain behind -- if the days aren't easy and the nights are rough, when they ask you what you're thinking of, say "love." Say for me "love." 


Your heart says, "Not again. What kind of mess have you got me in?" But when the feeling's there, it can lift you up and take you anywhere. With the gravel beneath you and the limbs above, if anybody asks you where you're coming from, say "love." Say for me "love."


Say yes, we live; uncertainty and disappointments have to be. And every day we might be facing more. And yes, we live in desperate times, with fading words and shaking rhymes. There's only one thing here worth hoping for. With Lucifer beneath you and God above, if either one of them asks you what you're living of, say "love." Say for me "love."
