Give Yourself to Love

The past weekend, I have had an "earbug"...the chorus of Kate Wolf's song, "Give Yourself to Love." I didn't know the whole chorus and I missed a couple of small words, but the message came through gently and insistent, I must "Give yourself to Love, Love is What You're After, Give Yourself to Love." As I said, I missed a few, but it worked for me. Here is the full chorus:

You must give yourself to love
If love is what you're after
Open up your hearts, to the tears and laughter
And give yourself to love, give yourself to love

As you can see there is no "IF" about it for me. I feel it is imperative that I MUST turn towards the Love in my life as well as take the medicines, etc. In fact, I feel the zoloft is working, a fog is lifting and has enabled me to HEAR the message of the song. Quite some synergy there. Now, if I can get motivated to exercise my body which is desperately asking to be moved and stretched, I will feel all parts of me are being treated. I hope the zoloft will help with that motivation. I think it will based on this past weekend.

We were to run a few errands on Sat. then take the rest of the day to relax as Rog had to work on Friday and I went with him for part of the day. When we got home from getting groceries, I couldn't sit still, lie down or anything else of inaction. My mind rebelled; I could not face another day of doing nothing! So, I asked Rog to help me. I emptied my grandmother's trunk; made a pile of stuff to send my daughter back East and a pile to put elsewhere. The trunk was empty and I had a mirror which needed to go to Morgan. So I called my daughter and she had her husband come over to get them both. That's the first decluttering thing I have done in months and months, it seems, major one, at least. It is something I've been meaning to do for ages. By then, I was tired, it was later in the afternoon, so I stopped. No panic or anxiety for the day AND able to get something major done. Well, well...and all the while I was hearing "Give yourself to love, love is what you're after..." and, that brings to mind another singer/songwriter, Woody Guthrie, who spoke no truer words when he wrote Love is the only God I'll ever believe in...I'd post the whole thing here, but it's a copyrighted piece. Please do follow the link and read the entire piece. It is quite profound in my opinion and Love is what I am after...in all things...a focus on the positives in my life.
