An old song from 2003 written by Bobby Solo sometimes gets stuck in my head:
Feelings, nothing more than feelings,
Trying to forget my,
Feelings of love
It’s a sad song about living without the lover he no longer has. Many times, relationships end before both people in the couples ar ready. The best way to avoid this situation is to spend time to nurture the relationships the from the start.
Taking care of relationships while both people are healthy is wonderful, but we aren’t always that lucky. If you are in a position where you are both feeling pretty good, take advantage of that, and if you have children still living with you or close by, involve them too.
Often, we get too busy to take good care of ourselves and our loved ones. Don’t let that happen to you. Time flies by so quickly! Find ways to make the most of your times together. Schedule a family game night or dinners or a dessert party. Or have creative times together where you plant seeds or plants in your gardens, or barbeque and make homemade ice cream with peaches from off your trees.
You can also plan short or long trips together or just learn more about common interests. Maybe you could learn fly fishing or deep-sea fishing. Maybe you could teach each other how to make ceramic pots, or homemade pasta, or maybe you could take dance classes, or audition for a local theatre production.
Remember how short life is and find ways to just have fun! Spending life loving your family and friends is so worth it!
