Always Learning

Speaking of Love…

By Leigh Pretnar Cousins, MS

P. and I are making some special time this weekend to enjoy some of the things that keep us close: Good food, great music, and time to relax and appreciate each other without the world intruding.

In anticipation, I’ve revisited some of my most personal posts:

In Emotional Sea Water: A Destructive Cycle of Love and Unmet Needs, I was reflecting on painful relationship patterns I had fallen into, and which I believe I have seen in other people as well.

Hope for Love: Don’t Leave Just Yet was my Valentine’s Day tribute to my present relationship and all the hard work we have invested in it.

Love Alone Can’t Cure Mental Illness is one of my attempts to come to grips with the challenges I’ve faced in loving and being loved, in the course of my lifetime, by several beautiful and valuable people with mental illnesses.

I’d love to hear any responses from you!

Wishing you a beautiful weekend!
