Daily Thoughts

For those who think they’re long past the age for love, think again. Couples in their advanced years can love just as their counterparts who are decades younger.

Where would we be without love? The world would be desolate, full of sameness and no passion. Thankfully, where there is life, there is love. There is always love.

Love is that unique emotion that makes you feel like everything is possible. Besides, love makes you look forward to the future with hope and optimism.

No matter what is happening around you, you can only think about your beloved when you’re in love. While your attention may briefly return to reality, it quickly reverts to all-consuming thoughts of the person you love.

There is something magical about the first time you experience love. It is a feeling you never forget. Some couples are lucky to be with their first love for a lifetime. Others have less time with their beloved. Yet everyone cherishes the memory of their first true love.

Besides the sign that love makes your heart skip, there are a few other telltale physical signs you’re in love:

• Love makes sleepless nights an everyday occurrence. But you don’t seem to notice – or care.
• Physical appetite tends to decrease when you’re in love. Besides, you get butterflies when you see or think about your beloved.
• People can tell you’re in love by looking at you. It’s funny how this works. Many adjectives tell the same story: Lovestruck, smitten, over-the-moon, bedazzled.
• You laugh a lot when you’re in love. You’re also less likely to get angry.
