Falling in Love

I was sitting here watching Christopher Titus doing a stand up routine (Love is Evol) that was hilarious, but it got me to thinking "why do we say falling in love?" We all know about the beginning of a new relationship.....how we can't wait to see the person or talk to them on the phone (even if we really don't like talking on the phone)... the feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when they look at you....but what happens when we finish falling? If we are really lucky we find that being in love is just as wonderful as falling in love. Being in love means finding the best friend you will ever have, being able to be yourself (even with your glasses on and you hair pulled back) and they will still love you and think you are the greatest thing since sliced bread. Being in love is far better than falling in love......because being in love will last for the rest of your life and beyond. Being in love does not mean that there will always be blue skies and sunshine but gives you the knowledge that when the rain comes there will be someone there to keep you from drowning.....being in love does not mean that you will agree with everything the other person says or does....but gives you the ability to accept that there may be some merit to a different opinion than your own....being in love does not mean that you will never be cross, or angry or hurt....but gives you the capacity to forgive, discuss and heal so that you can become a stronger person. So, all in all, I think that I would rather be in love than fall in love any day of the week (and twice on Sundays). Be kind to each other, love each other and have a blessed day and a better tomorrow.
