We Are Waiting on Us

There are times I love the Memories feature of Facebook. This is one of those times. I wrote that on my wall 8 years ago. More than likely the late, great Luther Vandross's Wait For Love was on my mind. It's my favorite Luther song and it makes my mind wander. Ooh, let me turn on that and some of his other tunes for some blog help.

I remember not too long ago

I was just a lonely person with a lonely heart

And I was hopin' there could one day be

Be a chance for me to

Get the love that I'd been missin'

Sometimes love takes a long time

Wait for love and you're gonna get the chance to love

Wait for love, wait for love, oh my

I know Luther was more than likely talking about amorous love, but self-love waiting for us to love ourselves could fit well with these lyrics. Self-love is waiting for us to:

• Move our bodies more
• Drink more water
• Eat more vegetables & fruit
• Decrease our sugar intake
• Turn off all the screens & noise & sit in a quiet moment for 30 minutes
• Pour more positive inspiration into yourself
• Read more
  
• Increase our comedy input & laugh more
• Find more constructive & professional outlets to release negativity

And I use the word our because while I was coming up with this list for this post first thing this morning, I hadn't had my usual 1st cup of water. That was 30+ minutes.  Can't love this blog more than properly waking my body up. But slip-ups happen. And self-love doesn't happen overnight. I guess I should add another thing or two that self-love is waiting for us to do.

• Beating ourselves up if We are doing our best at the moment
• Never stop working on our self-love process

And to quote the tune that Luther Vandross sang with the also late, great Gregory Hines,

I wanna be loved

There's nothing better than love

What in the world

Could you ever be thinking of

It's better by far

So let yourself reach for that star

And go no matter how far

To the one you love

To love

Nope like the song, There's Nothing Better Than Love. Recently I read, "Showing love is about sharing life with someone else". That is very true, but it share some life with yourself also. An empty cup can't pour into another. Plus, self-love helps you show others what & how to share with you. So regularly, take the time to drop a little life in you. You will love what you did.
