Times when I have felt loved

Can you share a positive example of where you’ve felt loved?

This is an interesting prompt and one that gives the feel-good vibes deep inside so here goes.

I hope that you also have a person/pet who makes you feel loved. Here’s some of the things the PB does regularly to make me feel loved.

Daily walk with active listening and talking together about the issues of the day.

Physical affection.

Advice and hard truths to address concerns about my dysfunctional family.

Making my favourite foods for me because he makes certain things better than I can.

Being genuinely concerned if I injure myself, I have a tendency to get distracted or too focused on a task and whack into things.

Reminding me to get health check-ups because I am too slack about it.

Reminding me to get up and move if I sit in front of the computer too long.

Reminding me to take a break and relax if I work too long.

Going to the shops to get bad snacks for me and painkillers when it’s that time of the month.

Telling me I am beautiful even if I have birdsnest hair and I’m not wearing any makeup.

Swimming around me with a snorkel on to make sure I don’t step on sharp reef I can’t see.
