I am at Emerald Lake Lodge for a weekend getaway with my beloved.

And in the process I forgot to organize a guest blog for today!

While I love having a guest blog on Sundays and am always inspired by what others share, it is good sometimes to ‘shake it up’, just as it’s important to find value in all things.  The value in not having a guest blog, as well as the fact my laptop crashed which means I can’t access my files anyway, (I’m typing on my iPad) is that I get to sit in the sunshine on a comfy sofa in a quiet corner of the the main lodge and simply experience the day. It also means I can’t post photos until I get this issue with my laptop fixed.

The real difference though is that CC and I have taken time out to simply be, as BillWithers sings, “just the two of us”.

Making a difference begins for each of us when we take time to cherish and celebrate with those who make such a difference in our lives.

CC makes an enormous difference in my life. Getting away to a special mountain hideaway is a great way to honor and cherish the difference we make together and for each other.

And that’s important.

To celebrate those in our lives who make a difference.

To take time out from ‘the busy’ and just be, together, enjoying each others company and cherishing all we have and mean to each other.

Last night, beneath an azure sky deepening to dark we sat over a delicious dinner and looked into each others eyes and shared what a difference the past five years have made in both our lives.  Through the ups and downs, the ins and outs, the ‘we’re done here’s’ to the ‘let’s keep going on’s’, we have both grown and expanded and been made different.  Acknowledging ‘our maturation’ as CC calls it, taking time to thank the other for their teachings, and their gifts, to talk about where we’ve been, where we’re at, and where we want to go together makes a difference in how we feel, act and believe in each other and our togetherness.

If you can’t get away to be ‘just the two of us’ take a moment today to celebrate someone who makes a difference in your life. Tell them what they mean to you, let them know how their presence makes such a difference. Share your joy in having them in your life and let the moment of acknowledging make a difference in how you see into one another’s hearts.

Consciously choose to be in love, move in love, and live your love today.

May your difference be  in Love in everything you say, do and experience today.

Namaste.
