As a first write here, I decided to choose to write about something that has, over the years, become an excellent cliché. Three simple words: I love you. Yep, it's nothing more than that.

Yet isn't it rather odd that either we just say it outright, without a second thought or avoid it like the plague, as it invokes in us a feeling of childish silliness bordering on embarrassment. Its not that you are afraid to just say I love you....................

Its just a three letter word, how difficult can it be to say it? In fact this word is quite overrated and used without thought. What is required is saying the words and then really meaning them.............

Naturally don't like wait for years and years to just say it out, nor try and wait for 'the right moment' which BTW will never come till YOU decide anyways,........... So there's no point in trying to find the right time, the right occasion, the right moment, the year or whatever............. You feel love-say it. Especially to your brother, sister, mum , dad, daughter, son............

At times, even though they do know and it is a fact that you will naturally always love them, yet when was the last time you said 'I love you Mum' or 'I Love you Daddy', or, 'Hey you my son, I LOVE YOU'? Seriously, when was the last time you said it?

For parents, I guess when the kids were like 3 yr olds? For siblings, I guess never! When do you ever say 'I love you to your sis or bro? eeewww-right? But then you have had occasions when you appreciated having a brother or a sister to talk to, to play with, to hang out with, discuss family matters you couldn't with anyone else, or even have a heart to heart fight! Who else can you fight with and say whatever, yet have them help you out the next time? Mouth off to a friend and you wont hear from them for weeks or months... or for years if its your GF/BF [Lolsss]

Yet we find no reservations saying what we feel when angered to our siblings.... So how come we don't say 'love you' to them? At times they need to know they are wanted and loved and cared too..... And it is always sweet to say it often and mean it! You'll see your self smile more often. Remember, the simplest words are THE most difficult ones to say.

Try it, make that extra effort....Go on, say it and watch that smile grow on their faces as it travels from your face to theirs. You'll be absolutely amazed and they'll be dazed.............

Wondering," Hmmmm, Now I wonder what that boy [or girl] is up to........” So go ahead and tell them. Keep them smiling and wondering (:

Remember that the simplest words are going to be THE most difficult ones to say, but then life wasn't meant to be easy, now, was it? But then, don't lose heart........... You do want your loved ones to know that despite the fights, the disagreements, the temper tantrums, the heartache, you still care for them. That beyond that hard exterior beats a warm and kind heart.

Oh and by the way.............. One piece of advise, don't go all nuts about it.... There are plenty of other ways to say that simple word........... But then I guess you CAN find that out on your own, now can't you? If not, well..... In that case I guess you'll just have to comment and wait for a reply in the upcoming weeks.....
Happy Loving to all good hearts.
