I was reading these words the other day by Bishop Noel Jones and he wrote, “What you love determine how you love”. The words would not let me think about anything else. They literally took over my thinking process. I began to think of you all, my blogging friends.

I am writing this post today to help me get these words out of my head and onto this blank page. At first I tried getting rid of the words by sending a card to my brothers and sisters this morning. It worked for about 5 minutes and then I was still faced with this blank blog page and those pesty words” what you love, determines how you love”.

If what I love determines how I love then my question to myself is; How have I determined to love my brothers and sisters? My answer, by sharing my life experiences past and present. (blog page is filling up now)

During my time in the military I traveled extensively. My travels did not avail a lot of time to visit my sisters and brothers. The time I had at home was usually spent with my wife and son enjoying whatever country we were in at the time. Now I have a little more time and have placed a new found priority on my siblings. I have determined to give back the time I missed by sharing my experiences.

I love my brothers and sisters very much. I send them cards all the time.

I challenge you to ask youself these questions; What in your life do you love? How have you determine to love it or them? Is it self motivated or selfless love? Is it conditional or is it giving without wanting anything in return? I cannot and will not pretend to know what is right and what is wrong about how or what you love.

I will however leave you with this one thought “be careful not to choose to love what you do not have the power to love”. It only makes for a bad ending and most of the time someone’s heart will need mending because of it.

Thanks for reading I had to get “What you love, determines how you love” out of my head. Fortunately or unfortunately it has now been planted within your head. What you love, determines how you love. Think on it and write about it. You will be a better person for it.

Recently I retired from the Military with 22 years and 6 months of service. Like many recent retirees I struggled with it.  I missed the comraderie of men and women I worked with and many have become life long friends. I remember when I had arrived at my ten year mark in the service and how I wanted to retire so quickly.  When you are young in the military you cannot wait to be retired – then it happened. I arrived at my retirement date and I was not fully prepared for the sadness I felt.  I started searching my mind for reasons to stay. I could find only one, Friendships. Friendships forged through a common bond. People I had learn to trust and respect.

The truth of the matter is,  I love my life and I love the people who have made my life so great. I have had the pleasure of meeting all kinds of people, visiting 17 countries and living in 8 states. This December I will celebrate 17 years of marriage to my wife who currently serves in the military.  I have had the pleasure of raising my son in a variety of places and he has been a champion through it all.  My brothers and sisters have learn to say “I love you and ask the question “Where are you now?”
Over the years I have learned that family is everything.  They are definitely worth appreciating everyday. 

I appreciate the people in my life by celebrating with them and applying the  following appreciation acts.
My first act of appreciation toward them is to tell each one, I genuinely Love You.  My  second act of appreciation is to show this love through truly understanding who they are and what their interest are.  My third act of appreciation is to send gifts of love through my card sending business at  http://tinyurl.com/bvvp5d.  My fourth and final act of appreciation is to spend precious time with each and every loved one that I can.  We all could gain an additional nugget in life through appreciating those we love.
