Blueberry
Morning Doesn’t Quite
Say
“I Love You”
Love
Is More Than A Box of Cereal
My ex-husband used
to say that he figured I still liked him if he looked in the kitchen cabinet
and saw a new box of Blueberry Morning cereal. I thought it was fitting. At
that time of my life, I believed love is a verb, that doing was loving. I still
believe that love is a verb, but now I also believe that it’s important to use that word—love—as a verb in speech.
Telling someone I
care is just as important as having their favorite food in the pantry, the
laundry folded, and dinner on the table. Telling someone I care often means
more than a favor granted, a wish fulfilled. We are people of words, spoken
words, not just people of action. Cereal feeds the body, but terms of
endearment feed the heart and soul.
It’s important to
provide both types of sustenance.
