Love makes all the difference.

I have to be motivated. Often I can be enlivened by myself. But it helps if I get a little push or shove. And that happens when I'm in love. There's nothing more motivating than love. It wakes me up. Turns me on. Gives me gumption. And drive. And desire. And purpose. Actually, everything that's good. I didn't know this. Until I fell in love. And that didn't happen until I was about 30 years old. And here I am. Now 74. And thriving. Because I'm still in love. That is what keeps me going. Gives me the motivation I need to be a romantic idealist, a free-thinker, a liberal and a lover. I know myself. And I'm inspired. By my love. --Jim Broede
