Did you fall in love today?

Did you fall in love today? I did.

Have you heard the Taylor Swift song "Love Story"? It's a love song that is catchy and, to me at least, a lot of fun to listen to and even sing along to.

It got me to thinking about falling in love.

Did I fall in love again today? With my wife? With my kids? With my job? With the other things going on in my life?

Today ... I say emphatically, "Yes!"

I'm really blessed to have a wife like Marie that is also my best friend ... someone that can make me laugh and that I can share all of my thoughts with ... yes, even the ones that make me sound stupid! And my kids ... two great boys that enjoy laughing and playing and sometimes even giving great hugs (yeah, they're young enough to want to do that from time to time!)

Work ... it was a tough day, but I was reminded of all the cool things that I learn and the opportunities that are available to me. Neat company with lots going on.

All that other stuff ... sometimes it feels like noise ... but I was reminded this past weekend of the chance to find God in everything. It is easier to find God in the relationship I have with my wife and kids and the people I see and interact with everyday. One of my boys accompanied me to two meetings tonight and to see his smile and the smiles on others when he was in the room was joy-filling.

If you haven't had the chance to hear that Taylor Swift song, I encourage you to listen to it. When you hear the words, consider that relationship that is either working in spite of the pains and struggles that cause it to not work sometimes or that has brought a great amount of joy to your life. Romeo and Juliet ... the star-crossed lovers that found love despite the pain that it caused them and their families.

I found love today ... again. It's a great experience.

Peace ... to all of you.
