Charbonneau Women ’ s Association By LYNDA HUBER MARSHALL
Feel the magic of love through music , movies HUBER MARSHALL
As I was thinking about this month ’ s theme , “ Love ,” many definitions come to mind .
� A feeling of strong or constant affection for a person ( fondness , tenderness , warmth , intimacy ).
� The strong affection felt by people in love in a romantic way ( affection and tenderness felt by lovers ).
� A great interest and pleasure in something ( delight in , enjoy greatly , have a passion for ).
� An assurance of affection ( give her my love ).
� Strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal experience . Affection based on admiration , benevolence or common interests ( love for his old schoolmates ).
� Unselfish , loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another .

People are always inspired by love . We enjoy it in music , movies and stories .
I believe we all have at least one love song as a favorite . We have different tastes in music , and over the years styles have changed , but many of these songs will survive time . There are albums of love songs and I am sure if you check your bookshelves or closets you will have some . Songs that come to my mind include :
� “ I Just Called to Say I Love You ” - Stevie Wonder
� “ When a Man Loves a Woman ” -
Percy Sledge � “ My Heart Will Go on ” - Celine Dion � “ I Will Always Love You ” - Whitney
Houston � “ Something ” - The Beatles � “ The First Time ” - Roberta Flack And how many times have you found yourself wrapped in a blanket and enjoying a good love movie ( known as a good chick flick sometimes in my household )? These come to my mind . � “ Gone with the Wind ” � “ Grease ” � “ Top Gun ” � “ Dirty Dancing ” � “ Pretty Woman ” � “ Moonstruck ” � “ Romeo and Juliet ” � “ Titanic ” Do you have a favorite ? Have you ever sent a love note or letter ? Think back in your memories , maybe the entire letter was not about love , but
|
you just might have said a few words or sentences that touched someone ’ s heart . You might even have a box of love letters tucked away that someone wrote to you years ago . Maybe today would be a good time to sit down and enjoy re-reading them .
There are also many quotes about love that are timeless and inspiring thoughts written down and spread throughout the decades , centuries and , yes , even millenniums — thoughts not only about happy , romantic love but also the love between friends and family . This could also include the love that is often neglected or pushed to the side : the love you have for yourself . As you read through these I hope that something will resonate with you . Here are just a few to consider :
“ Love is a friendship set to music .” — Joseph Campbell
“ The way to love anything is to realize that it may be lost .” — Gilbert K . Chesterton
“ You know it ’ s love when all you want is that person to be happy , even if you ’ re not part of their happiness .” — Julia Roberts
“ When you arise in the morning , think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe , to think , to enjoy , to love .” — Marcus Aurelius
“ The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard , but must be felt with the heart .” — Helen Keller
“ The only thing we never get enough
|
of is love ; and the only thing we never give enough of is love .” — Henry Miller
“ I have decided to stick with love . Hate is too great a burden to bear .” — Martin Luther King , Jr .
“ The love we give away is the only love we keep .” — Elbert Hubbard
“ A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you .” — Elbert Hubbard
“ Better to have lost and loved than never to have loved at all .” — Ernest Hemingway
“ The greatest healing therapy is friendship and love .” — Hubert H . Humphrey
“ Love is an endless act of forgiveness .” — Beyoncé
“ Love is the flower ; you ’ ve got to let it grow .” — John Lennon
“ Love and kindness are never wasted . They always make a difference . They bless the one who receives them , and they bless you , the giver .” — Barbara De Angelis
It is with love and deep concern for our members and the community that we had to cancel our January luncheon during this time . We are not sure what the future holds . Please watch your emails or check the website for updates on future luncheons and activities as we move forward . We do miss and care for all of you .
So in the mean time , find those love letters , albums , movies , or books and fill your heart and soul with warm , happy thoughts . We hope to see you on Valentine ’ s Day .
