"REMEMBER YOU ARE LOVED"

Blog Posted:3/8/2025 9:58:00 AM

These words were said to me a few times this past week and thus I felt the need to spread the message. There are so many things that drag us down in life, affect our self-esteem or cause us to question our worth in the world. Always remember that you are loved by someone and probably many someones, so it's okay to let yourself rise above the fray and dwell peacefully in the clouds. My new contest addresses that theme. Here's hoping everyone has a great weekend! Tommy

My mom loved me unconditionally, that's the only human that did and all my pets through out my life have also been there for me no matter what I did or said, like Keith, I get kisses all the time, and that unconditional love that is endless. I have had some down times lately bringing fear, confusion, and sadness, so I know that feeling, blessings ~

Aren’t pets the greatest! Like you, I love animals, Constance. They teach us so much and love us like no other. One of God’s greatest gifts to humankind. Hope you are okay.

Looking at what Keith wrote. I think only my dog Ollyver loved me unconditionally in my entire life. I wonder if it is even possible with humans. I think the parent/ child relationship comes closest

I agree. Even God doesn't love us unconditionally, as some suggest - John 3:36

I am loved unconditionally by Max and Elly. They both sleep with me so I get plenty of hugs and kisses and nibbles. Max is my mastiff and Elly is my American boxer. They think I’m wonderful and I know I am loved.

I live in a giant kennel, and I seem to do most of the fetching.

I can only assume the poor wifey has been banished to her own bedroom. On the other hand, is it by choice? Hmmmm

Hugs for you too, Keith! The world needs more empathy, compassion and hugs!

Whatabout me? Can I get a hug?

' You are appreciated and loved. ' Words of encouragement will always lift the heart. Reflecting on the positive keeps me floating in the clouds. ' You ' belong in the sky. :)

I'm there with you. Well, most of the time anyway ;)
