love thursday

Hello everyone and welcome to my first "love Thursday". Love Thursday is just a day when everyone can express their love. It originated with a relative who I also call my friend. This fantastic lady is an excellent photographer and I draw inspiration from the way that she has chosen to lead her life. She is a fantastic wife and mother and manages (somehow) to the whole work life balance. Once a week she posts love Thursday without fail and I have decided to participate in this. I encourage you all to browse her blog and to look at her amazing photo journal that she call Choolooloonks....God bless Karen!!

Here's what Karen posted at the very start of love Thursday, please take a look and then feel free to go to her blog which is http://www.chookooloonks.com/blog

all you need is love

Go take a look at Irene Nam's beautiful post, here. It's a short one -- go ahead, I'll wait.

Isn't it beautiful?

After I saw the post, I noticed that Irene was online, so I started chatting with her. Long story short, we've decided that we're going to proclaim today Love Thursday. Here's how it works:

1. For those of you who have blogs, post a photograph today on your blogs that shows love -- it can be of you and your partner, you and your children, you and your pets, you loving life, your kids playing with your pets, strangers in the arrivals lounge at Heathrow airport, whatever.

2. Once you've posted it, come back here (or go to Irene's), and leave the permalink to your post in the comments, as evidence that love is, indeed, all around us.

3. For those of you who don't have blogs, don't feel left out -- you can leave a description of a time you witnessed love in the comments as well. Who says a picture has to be made with a photograph?

Okay, ready? Here's my submission, taken in the departure lounge at Piarco Airport, in Trinidad. The quality of the shot is pretty awful, but I think it gets the point across:

Happy Love Thursday, everyone. I can't wait to see what you share.

So from here on in I will be taking part of love Thursday, please feel free to add your comments / links...and when I get sorted I will also be posting pictures.
