What are the things that let you know you are loved???? :awww:

[Rockinonahigh]

My son cause he is hear for me and lets me know how much he loves me..It sounds like the waltons at night around hear at bed time..Night mom love u,night James love ya back have a good day tomorrow.
Then my fur kids when I get home,they are so glad to see me with all the jumping and playing to show how much they care.

[Soft*Silver]

I had to pause on this awhile and really thing this thru. At first I thought because I am single I didnt have much to post. And I thought I could talk about my family and my pets. But something was nagging me There was something I wanted to say...

I can tell I am loved when I feel good about myself. When the well of love within me if full and bright and deep. Its reflected in how I take care of myself. In the way I present myself to others, by the way I tend to my home and how well I nurture myself in whay I eat and expose myself to. When my well is reflecting the moon and I can feel her wisdom and pay heed to it and dont act impulsively nor childishly. I dont need more than me in my life to feel balanced and complete. I certainly dont feel empty and scared without someone else when my well is wet and brimming.

I am so not thirsty right now. I really do feel loved. Self love. No one can take it away from me. That part is very important to me. No one is ever going to take anything away from me again...

[Jesse]

I know I am loved because I took the time to learn to love ME.

[Strappie]

I know I'm loved because....

:gimmehug:

[Stacy]

I know I am loved because...
Michael let's me sleep until I wake up. Unless it hits 10:00am, because he knows I don't ever want to sleep past 10:00am. If that is the case, he then comes up, crawls in bed with me, and kisses and snuggles me awake ever so gently.
If I do wake up on my own, he's always down here with a hug ready for me. He is always, ALWAYS happy to see me.
Then, I go into the bathroom to do my morning things, (pee, brush teeth, hair, etc) and when I come out, he always has my coffee prepared just like I like it, and sitting on my desk.
He truly is the best husband I could ever dream of.
He makes me feel loved every minute of every day.
Thank you Michael.

[waxnrope]

Because I received a gift that I needed ... and didn't know that I needed it.

[julieisafemme]

Because my tea water was hot when I came upstairs. Because my tank was on empty last night and full this morning. Because I am heard and acknowledged.

[proximitywithoutintimacy]

Because I have a friend who will always protect me (f)

[Passionaria]

I know I am loved because I no longer look for it outside myself. So when those sweet loving things happen, it's blessings on blessings......

[Andrew, Jr.]

All of my needs, wants, & must have's are always met with a smile. When I am sick, I have someone in the chair next to my hospital bed. I am very blessed.


:moonstars:

[Domestic Diva]

:blueheels:I know I'm loved cause hy waites for me to go through 20 pairs of shoes before I can make up my mind.
:rainbowAfro:I know I am loved cause hy sits in the bathroom and watches with facination while I spend countless hours doing my hair
:moonstars:I know I am loved cause hy tells me the moon and the stars belong to me alone
:sushi:I know hy loves me cause hy HATES Shushi and I love it and he will suffer through it once in a while just so I can have it
I know I am loved cause when hy looks at me, hy see's the most vulnerable part of me and cradels like a newborn baby.
I could go on and on with this list cause hy just seems to do it all right, even when lifes not perfect...but isnt that what unconditional love feels like...

[girl_dee]

I know I am loved because I am never judged, and I am heard.

...she likes to surprise me...calling me to ask if I can run out for lunch in the middle of the day...and tonight she gave me a silver bracelet with a clasp made of cat's heads holding the catch loop in their mouths...never seen anything like it...and love it :love1:

...I know I can leave for a week for work, and she'll take good care of my son (even though she will encourage him to burp and fart :| )

...my shell and stone collection from the beach includes several items she found for me...shaped like hearts

:kissy:

[adorable]

I know I am loved because he tells me all the time.
...because he looks at me that way.
...because he wants to be with me & spend time with me.
...because he will do anything for me.
...because let's me get my way (sometimes lol.)
...because he opens my doors and fixes everything for me.
...because I don't have to beg, plead or cry for any of the above.
It just is.

And I love it!

[girl_dee]

I know I am loved because I am not allowed to wear myself into a frazzle. :bigcry:

[Soft*Silver]

I guess one of the reasons I am not in a romantic relationship is that when I have tried, I tended to compare the person I was with, with the people I had been with. Akwardly, I felt the way I could feel I was loved, was that they wouldnt do to me what the past ones did to me. Therefore, I set it up for the people who got involved with me to always have to strive to undo what the others had done to me to make me feel loved by them. Wow. Did that work? Hell no!

Well, I dont do that now. Now when I am going to be in love, I will feel love because I am lovedby what they have to offer, not because I someone has to whittle off a piece of a hard feeling from me....thats MY work to, not theirs. And I am doing it now, before I even try a romance again.

But I do feel loved by people now. I feel loved by them cheering me on and supporting me and giving me room to grow and standing by me thru all the changes I go thru. And they like the fact that I am getting stronger on my own, not out of them. I have great friends. They could have made this alot easier on me, taken over and just made a life for me. Instead, they let me make a life for myself. I love them for that. I am coming out of a very dark two year period. But what is there for me, is Me. Now thats how I know I am loved....

[girl_dee]

I know I am loved because I feel so completely safe inside of this. <3

My Peaches brings me big rubber bands he wants to play with. He doesn't eat them. I tie the big stretchy bands in a knot, and toss them high and far. He runs, unties them and brings them back to play, purring all the way.

I tie the big stretchy bands in a knot, toss them far and wide. He runs, unties them and brings them back to play, purring all the day.

In the morning, I find them in his dish, as he prowls and growls, wanting to play again.

[RockOn]

because ...

several out of state friends called today to see if I made it through the severe weather outbreak.

After work yesterday, I set up the hallway with blankets, pillows, weather radio, flashlight. Let's not forget a huge, extremely powerful fan that blows my male dog's excessively large lips up around his ears. I swore the last time I heard the tornado sirens, I would not find myself in a tiny bathroom with two large, very hot and panting, restless dogs.

After radar indicated the worst of the squall line went past, my dogs and I crawled in bed and slept great. No damage in my immediate area. We got lucky!

I feel so sorry for the ones who did not make it. Those were some mean storms yesterday and last night.

[violaine]

[girl_dee]

Because I feel so safe and secure!

[aurora]

because Hy knows I think Lang is hot yet pretends not to mind when I keep singing ''I'll be your daddy'' over, and over again...

but most of all, because Hy knows I really need this.

[Bard]

[Kenna]

I know I am loved when I get early morning calls from an out-of-state best friend and they say "I wanted to check on you. ...When I don't hear from you, it usually means you are in a 'bad place'..."
She knows me too well!! And I love her just as much!.... I know I am loved when I feel comfortable enough [with friends, family or a lover] to trust them and to return their love without fear of being hurt. Their love gives me confidence and a "calm" heart.

[justpjhere]

[Kenna]

I know I am loved because my friends support me. They may not always agree with me, but they support me.
They help me process life, and they support me.
I speak of true friends that know the real me (not the "only 5% of me" that I proactively decide to "put out there" because I don't think it's safe to put EVERYTHING about one's self online...)
I've met some amazing true friends *here*, who are worth every effort to "allow" them to know who I am and "allow" them to know 100% of me... and they support me....because they truly know and value how hard it is for me to open up to them and allow anyone into my real comfort zone.
And I try to let them know that I value them more than any riches in the world.

To find true friendships and bonds where you are supported and cared-for without stipulations or unrealistic expectations...that's Love.

They support me when I mess up...
They support me on bad days and good days...
They never let me down...
They support me by giving me space when I need it...
They support me by being there when I open my space to them...
They support me by being understanding to whatever I hold important to me....
They support me when I am passionate about subjects close to my heart (even when they do not agree with me)...
They support me by kicking my ass and telling me how it is when I made a stupid/impulsive decision....
They support me by loving me for who I am..... all 100% of me.
They support me, care for me when I need it, and love me by accepting me.

And I do the very same thing for them.
I know I am loved because my friends allow me to care for them and allow me to get to know 100% of them.
I know I am loved because we, as friends, have surrounded each other in our comfort zone.

[DapperButch]

....my g.f. was blasting her A/C in her car on a not so warm night so that the Gelato she got me from Rita's Water Ice would not melt on the way home.

I am safe and secure and happy and walk around with a huge smile..

Love of all kinds radiate around me by special people like a giant bubble that is filled with sparkles and hearts and sunshine and goodness.

That's all i have ever wanted and needed.

I am blessed.

[DamonK]

...it shows in the "good morning, I love you" texts I get every morning that I wake up.

I know I am loved because he gets that I really am not gonna become someone else...that whatever the 'good' stuff about me it does in some ways come with the annoying parts of me...and even those don't seem so odious to him...

I know I am loved because every time she sees me her face fucking Breaks open she smiles so big, and so sweet, and so honestly and with so much generosity and welcome and so deep....

I know I am loved because I do, at times, really think I have been blessed with being 21 again only This time knowing what I didn't know then....

I know I am loved because I feel calm and excited and whole and happy...I feel liked...and that is often the thing that matters the most to me, that I am just seen and liked...it's pretty nice...

and to think...at my advanced age and in my semi-curmudgeon state I have been given an amazing gift...one which I hope, I return in kind 10 fold....

and, lastly I know I am loved because I haven't made an appointment to get the tear tattoos inked in well over a month....

[girl_dee]

She took such care in making my treatment space (can't call it work!) perfect and special... and taking her day to help me get it just right!

Then having a very VERY special quiet (sort of) evening together :cheer:

[girl_dee]

Because when I feel I look my worst, hair a mess, dark circles and feeling fat, She looks at me and smiles and says, *I love you, you cute lil thing*

Because She makes sure I have everything I need in life, and more, most of all feeling safe and loved everyday.

[clay]

my heart is still beating...so there is someone, somewhere who will love me....

[girl_dee]

Because one year ago today, She brought me here, gave me a space to be in for a short time, then ,reality hit me in the face and I had a breakdown. After a few days I began to see that living the way I had lived my life would kill me, and I decided to make a change. I was a wreck and felt worthless. With their help and support I now am able to do the things I love, bodywork, photography and domestic service in my own home, on our property and this is where I will be for the rest of my life. They love me enough to share with me this wonderful piece of heaven on Earth. Being able to walk out in your own yard (all 200 acres) with nothing but the deer and critters is truly a gift which I can never repay!

[Penelope]

I know I am loved because he left a sweet note on my pillow to discover before I went to bed while he is out of town. :loveletter:

[girl_dee]

because She has taken such good care of me and looked after my puppy while I was sick the last couple of days, It sure wasn't pretty.

After a rough night and worse morning She looked at me and said "hi beautiful". We both had to laugh :|

Thank you Daddi!

[sylvie]

because not one moment, of any day, do i doubt His love for me.
i feel it, and see it, in the things He does and the things He says.
And looking in His eyes, i not only feel & see His love, but i see that He sees & feels how sooo loved He is too, by me... ♥ & that is the best feeling, ever.

[girl_dee]

Because of the way She shows me in Her actions, not just words.

[spritzerJ]

Hy gave me choices. When I needed to be safe I was helped to find a plan, to find my way. It was not done for or to me but the options given.

...he calls to talk...even though he's not a phone person

:kissy:

[Novelafemme]

1. My brother let me take ONE photograph of him and he NEVER let's anyone do that. :)

2. Even though I didn't take her up on her offer, upon entering the Kate Spade store my partner said I should pick out any one hand bag that I liked...price didn't matter. I picked a pretty thermos that was on sale for $20 instead. ;) I simply cannot rationalize spending $455 on a purse! :seeingstars:

3. My boss actually hugged me when I arrived at the office this morning.

4. My kids both squealed when I picked them up from their dad this morning. And Sophia wanted to hear every detail of our trip.

5. We stayed in a 200 sq. ft. room in Soho and she never got tired of me. At least not that she verbalized. ;)

[midwest chick]

After a weekend away, Poodleboy greeted me at the door with his favorite new toy....

My daughter calls me every day to tell me what is going on in her life, and to ask about, and celebrate mine....

All weekend, I felt secure, cherished, and protected...

Even when talking about the 'difficult' stuff, hy still looks at me with love, wonder, and awe...

Hy touched my heart, and held it gently, just that easily.

[Leigh]

After the last few days, I wonder why?

[Mtn]

She shows me and tells me everyday. I hope she knows how loved she is as well.

[Cid]

My son cleaned the inside of my car and my daughter helped me with the outside. (she did most of it)

[Spirit Dancer]

Because........
Even in the darkest hours,
there's a whisper reminding me to never forget.

[Kenna]

Even when I bring an 8 week old puppy home... my best buddy and biggest love bug smooch pooch still loves me, doesn't get mad and curls up with me as if I'm the center of his world. No puppy will ever take his place or share the connection we do. He came into my life when I needed him most... and shows me every day that, no matter how often I mess up or if I'm a bad mommy short on patience, he loves me and is always here to listen and offer comfort.

[Bard]

Cause Desd tell me so ... not to mention she puts up with my elderly cat and my wonderful daughter who can be a bit stressing at time.

[ladyhawkxx]

Cause Desd tell me so ... not to mention she puts up with my elderly cat and my wonderful daughter who can be a bit stressing at time. Sisu, you bring joy to me every day with your gentle strength! The laughter we share soothes and heals old cuts, pains and nicks and the anticipation of what life will bring to us can only be love that I feel because there is nothing I want in this world other than to be with you. Next to you. Always by your side. I thank God you love me like you do! And I know you love me - my heart and my Sisu told me so.

[Martina]

She tells me what's going on even when she does not feel like talking much.

I don't get told off even when I don't get online for months at a time. I just get welcomed back with hugs and the love of my online Family :cheesy:

[princessbelle]

The "Daddy" in her comes out when i need it.

The "Sir" in her comes out when she needs it.

They are both there 100% of the time but radiate their strength when she determines the need. The balance of that energy is just amazing. :rrose:

[Stitch]

Because my friend's made me dinner!

[Kenna]

Because my Big Brother took his whole day to drive me to Gaffney to get my Timberland boots. We argue who's gonna pick up the tab for lunch and he then treated me to an iced coffee at Dairy Queen. ....I know because we laughed, joked, talked, confided in one another, sounded off one another and enjoyed each others' company and friendship the entire time. Chosen Family like my Big Brother look out for me...offers guidance when I don't understand something or someone's behavior and lets me know how important I am to him.

When i'm panicked, she calms me. When i NEED or WANT some help, she is there to help me.

Every.

Time.

(f)

[*Anya*]

Because for the first time ❤I believe❤

[Novelafemme]

Because she leaves love notes under my windshield wiper in the morning and she greats me at the door after a long day with a kiss and a hug (and a glass of wine). And this week when I was sick she picked up all the kleenex I threw on the floor on my side of the bed and didn't complain once (and she's a big germaphobe!)
