Someone told me last week that I was easy to love and I swelled under those words. I want to be easy to love because of what that means.
And it makes me consider what makes people difficult to love-
withdrawn
not willing to listen
“all about me”
easily angered
unpredictable
unsympathetic
judgmental
lovers of bad news
undependable
I think of those people in my circle who are easy to love and they are joy bringers, life givers. They love others easily and in turn, they are easy to love, to cherish. I want to be their neighbors and share my garden and my courtyard and my groceries.
So thank you for the compliment. I felt loved just hearing those words and have been inspired to love better since.
