Appreciate the One Who Loves You
It's very easy to get comfortable with the people who love us, which is both a good and bad thing. It's good to be close enough that you can let your guard down and be yourself. The bad thing is that because you are so comfortable, you sometimes forget to treat them the way they should be treated.
The longer you are with someone the more you see the habits that can drive you crazy, rather than the things that make you love them. For some reason you always see those little things that can annoy you. Perhaps because it is easier - at least easier than taking the time to remind yourself of the good things. When this path is taken too often, you will find yourself treating acquaintances with more kindness and respect than the one who loves you.
When somebody loves you, they take you not only when you are at your best, but also when you are at your worst. They accept all of your qualities and habits. They listen when you are happy, sad or angry; they bear your burdens with you and share your joys and sorrows. Sometimes they stand close, other times a bit further away, but always there.
It is very easy to take each other for granted when you are together for a long time. In the midst of daily routine, you lose sight of the many reasons you fell in love with them and forget that they still love you faults and all.
If you stop and reflect, you will easily remember the things that make you love them. And this truly is worth the effort - for not only will you appreciate the one you love, but they will also appreciate you for remembering.
