...unconditional love..

I'm glad this week is over...it was a rough one for me...until I talked to my niece last night and this is how our conversation ended....

VICKIE: "Love you all the way to Jupiter".

ME: " Love you all the way to Venus"
(Unfortunately "Venus" is what I blurted out even though it is closer to the earth then "Jupiter" which would infer that I love her less then she loved me...which is not the case at all..I love my niecee..and in my defense..the planet thing totally caught me off guard...we usually use countries..Anyways by her next comment you'll see that I chose the right planet...:))

VICKIE: "AUNTY!? How did you know that was my favorite planet!!!??"
Then she proceeded to tell me all she knew about Venus:)

There is nothing so healing and uplifting then someone who loves you unconditionally sharing that feeling with you. Vickie's candidness is inspiring.

Why do we hold back so much?....saying a kind word..or expressing our love for others...or even building someone up when you've seen them do well.

All I know is when I grow up I want to be just like my Vickie.
