love thursday – young love

young-love

We were lugging a toddler, picnic basket, blanket, balls, and the rest of the gear needed to entertain a two year at the park.  I looked over my shoulder and spotted this couple.  No blanket, no extras, no responsibilities – just holding each other.  Simple, simple – love.

You remember this moment, right?  I sure do.

When you were young, had no responsibilities, and the only thing you cared about was being with that one person.  Love was enough – it was all you needed.

Then add marriage, jobs, mortgage, insurance, kids . . . . you get the idea.

But just for this moment, let’s remember how sweet young love is – how consuming, intoxicating, and wonderful it is.

Happy Love Thursday!  View more images and stories of love here.

Isn’t it funny that both Margie and I are now with our young loves, she & A. had a 30 year break and BB & I had a 25 year break. It’s so nice to have that old connection.

What a lovely image — yes, reminds us of those simple days. But I also noticed the couple in the background, walking their dog, holding hands. Happy Love Thursday

Oh, yes. I remember. I remember. I still feel that way. Every day.

And, yes, I do thank God for it. Every day.
