finding a way to say something

This approach to love and expression of sheer delight stuck with me...

I hope you find delight today, whether or not you celebrate Passover, Easter, or just a plain day off -- Happy Sunday!

On expressing one’s feelings:
“When my husband and I were dating, we were both too uncomfortable to say, ‘I love you.’ I think it was a mix of being love cynics, our age gap (he is nine years older) and the intense feelings we had right away. About two months in, we were traipsing around a state park when a ranger ran up to us. He said, ‘Keep a look out for Purple Finches today, they are everywhere!’ in a SUPER excited voice, while pointing to a sign that read ‘Birds to watch: Purple Finch.’ It was hilarious, and the park ranger’s obvious love for the birds was really cute. It made an impression on us, and we ended up saying ‘Purple Finch’ in lieu of ‘I love you’ because it felt better to us. It has come full circle now, and our son sends me ‘PF’ texts while I’m at work. Say whatever you want!” — Meghan
