Worth Fighting For

I have this book—I’ve read it three or four times—that I read when I’m down on myself or when I’m needing a pick-me-up. Each time I read it, I learn something new—about life, about love, about myself. It’s been a long couple of weeks, and I desperately needed to read this book again this last weekend. Here’s what I’ve learned: Love is worth fighting for. I’m not in love, nor have I ever been in love, but I know that what I have right now is worth fighting for. The look I see in his eye when he looks back at me is worth fighting for. The hugs are worth fighting for. The laughter is worth fighting for. The way I want to wrap my arms around him and never let him go is worth fighting for. The way I want to talk this out and work things through is worth fighting for.

Makes me wonder. . . am I worth fighting for?

Sounds like a good book; One that I might need to read sometime. I, too, have had a long couple of weeks. I don't know what has hit me and put me into a fun, but WOWEE has it done a good job. I am not currently in love either, nor do I have someone in my life that I might possbily love. I do, however, have a friend in my life that I miss. As soon as I'm out of my funktified situation, I'll be more of a friend. I hope my friend realizes that she has so much to offer and will eventually realize this and spread her wings.
