Where do you draw the line......

. But to try and sustain the 'warm and fuzzy' as you call it thoughout life is impossible.

ok, you read what i wrote, but you didn't stop to understand it. you can't maintain and sustain the warm and fuzzy feeling. the harder you cling to it, the more slippery it becomes. you choose to actively love someone. life will always go on around you. the fuzzy feeling will fade at times. you continue to actively love your spouse and the fuzzy feeling comes back. it will fade again.

it is sort of like being happy vs. being content.


happiness is being in a great mood, everything is going well, you're on top of the world. it is a feeling, it will pass. it will return.

being content is understanding that life is good, even when you are having a rough time. it is a decision, a state of mind that you choose rather than whining about the things that don't work or giving up when the going gets rough. being content leaves you open for the return of that feeling we call happiness.
