I believe we all yearn for unconditional love.
Some of us get it from our animals, who seem to give it freely.
Some of us learn to give it to ourselves, which takes a lot of practice.
Why is it so difficult to practice and accept unconditional love? After all, it is
- devoid of harmful side effects,
- always close at hand, and
- free.
Do you see unconditional love in my images for today?
.
Do you think I’ll be able to find unconditional love on YouTube?

Unconditional love and gratitude to all who are here, now, including YOU!
I’m not sure why the link doesn’t show, hopefully you can open it in YouTube
Never mind, it’s showing! 😁
Yes, the link works. Thanks!
I love you both unconditionally!
WordPress doesn’t seem to allow me to post cat photos in my reply so I can’t share my cat’s unconditional love with you. Fortunately, the photos people shared with you on Twitter are gems.
Thank you for another gem of a comment!
The only unconditional love of which I am aware is my own for my two children. and my unconditional love for my family, including my parents. My parents’ love for me, even though they didn’t really express it well until they were in the throes of dementia and had forgotten what a disappointment I had been. I totally accept the declarations of love they expressed at that time as coming from a deeper place and understand why my behavior had often been so hard for them to understand. They wanted me to stand on firm ground, but I was always choosing shifting sands.
Barbara, sifting sands sounds so much more interesting as a choice than firm ground. I’d love to hear more!
Let me count the ways. No, let’s not take up Ann space for that! 🙂 I did leave two perfectly good husbands, take up serial relationships (many of whom are still friends), got a magna cum laude degree in intellectual history and then dropped out of grad school, etc. etc. etc. You get the gist! 🙂
Thank you for always coming from a deeper place, Barbara.
Just got sent a new number from WordPress, so replying here to activate it.
Someone I work with adopted a racing greyhound. They got her a nice soft bed to sleep in and for weeks they’d show it to her every night, encouraging her to get in it. She’d always react in a way that said “Are you sure? This is really for me?” It’s sad to think that animals give us unconditional love but some, because of how they were treated, don’t expect it in return.
I unconditionally love this comment, Chris.
