Love Often and Show it More!

Do you remember these words from the song Do You Love me, in Fiddler on the Roof?

Tevye)
"He's a good man, Golde.
I like him. And what's more important, Hodel likes him. Hodel loves him.
So what can we do?
It's a new world... A new world. Love. Golde..."

Do you love me?

(Golde)
Do I what?

(Tevye)
Do you love me?

(Golde)
Do I love you?
With our daughters getting married
And this trouble in the town
You're upset, you're worn out
Go inside, go lie down!
Maybe it's indigestion

(Tevye)
"Golde I'm asking you a question..."

Do you love me?

(Golde)
You're a fool

(Tevye)
"I know..."

But do you love me?

(Golde)
Do I love you?
For twenty-five years I've washed your clothes
Cooked your meals, cleaned your house
Given you children, milked the cow
After twenty-five years, why talk about love right now?

(Tevye)
Golde, The first time I met you
Was on our wedding day
I was scared

(Golde)
I was shy

(Tevye)
I was nervous

(Golde)
So was I

(Tevye)
But my father and my mother
Said we'd learn to love each other
And now I'm asking, Golde
Do you love me?

(Golde)
I'm your wife

(Tevye)
"I know..."
But do you love me?

(Golde)
Do I love him?
For twenty-five years I've lived with him
Fought him, starved with him
Twenty-five years my bed is his
If that's not love, what is?

(Tevye)
Then you love me?

(Golde)
I suppose I do

(Tevye)
And I suppose I love you too

(Both)
It doesn't change a thing
But even so
After twenty-five years
It's nice to know

Its always nice to know you are loved, so I encourage you to say it often!
Let the people in your life know you love them,and care for them. Tell them often for its wonderful to hear, and we never get tired of it.
How many times have you heard stories of someone losing a loved one to death, and the person saying. I just wish I had told them more how much I loved them!
You can never say it enough!
And more importantly, you can never show it enough!
Sometimes it easy to say the words, but not as easy to show them.  Practice showing how much you care.  Treat those loved ones special, do little things to show your feelings.  Go out of your way to treat your family and friends special!  Don't wait for Mothers Day, or Fathers Day, or Valentines day.  Be a giver of your love by the practical things you do for those who are special to your heart!
Remember we are not always going to have these special people around, so let them know you love them, by word and by action. Constantly!!
And if you have love for someone and are afraid to let them know.  Just tell them, or show them, or better, do both.  Don't hide your love from anyone if you feel it share it.  Its good for you, and best for them.
Love a lot, Show love more often,
and Do the Day.
