CatcherAl: Funny how strange ideas float through one's head at 2 am in the morning huh? I was just contemplating about how some of us mere mortals think about love and where it is stored in the body, most would agree it's in the heart? Hence broken hearted, heart throb, hearts filled with love etc etc etc. To me there is no doubt that love YouTube He sings it far better than I I also believe that love lightens the body and soul, yet if it does this just how much lighter does it make us? Can one measure the amount of love a heart holds in ounces or pounds or in the case of being lighter how much lighter does one get? A helium tank filled with gas can inflate hundreds of balloons of which each can carry a certain weight. Why does the cylinder not float away? Does it get heavier as each balloon is inflated and a certain amount is used? Therefore it seems logical that with every love that is lost, or, like a balloon, drifts upward into nothingness and is lost forever makes the heart grow heavier? As most of you know, I have suffered now 10 heart attacks and not including the latest very small one, had only 26% of my heart still working. Does that mean I am unable to store 76% of love that I would have otherwise held in my heart? The older I get, the more love I hold dear to me increases with each passing year. The true and thoughtful friends I have met here, are so very very special to me. I have shared your most intimate secrets and held your hand when catastrophe has invaded your life, be it illness or loss I hope I have made a difference with my concern and help, just as you have been there for me. I have opened my life and dreams to you in my posts of flowers, silly jokes, illness, and unusual thoughts like this post, where I allow you all to be deep in my mind of confusion and lightening flashes of ideas? My capacity for real and constant love seems to have expanded rather than diminished. So the puzzle continues. What are your thoughts on this? I would love to know. My love to you all.................Alan.
CatcherAl in reply to sasah4u: Hi Sas, you lil wascal lol. I'm trying hard this week but so many setbacks. My new lathe does not do what I want and I'm stuck as the how, who and where to go for answers? Health is a constant problem which is so boring I don't want to talk about it lol. Rain and gale force winds are smashing my rose bushes against my bedroom window, apart from that I'm trying hard to be upbeat and happy See, it's easy More importantly how are you? What have you been up to? Tell me all please xxx
Srchng4Truth: I don't think love is actually stored in the heart. I think that is just a metaphorical place we assign to love. I certainly do not think your capacity to love is inhibited in any way.

tattyteresa01: sky I totally agree with You ,love is beautiful ,love is kind ,,,unconditional ,does not discriminates ,,love is caring ,love is forgiving ,love is being thoughtful ,love is all combined . \
1. If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
2. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned,[a] but have not love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant
5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful
6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.
7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
CatcherAl in reply to Dimjim55: We all can but try Jim, I know I fail miserably but with pure thoughts and with practice I hope I get better each time.
SunshineDeb: You have such a big heart Alan! You spread love and kindness everywhere and I appreciate your friendship so much! I think that love makes us light and Airy and joyous. I don't think it's stored anywhere in our body except all over our body. I think that when we love we feel good energy and Good Vibrations literally throughout our body.❤❤
CatcherAl: I also cherish and delight in your friendship Justy.. I have always held you in the highest regard and when I think of you I hear truth, I see honesty and am honored to be in the company of perfect womanhood. Bless you xxx
WarriorMouse: You're 1 of my favorite friends Al. You have taught me a lot by being a wonderful loving friend to so many. Something I strive for as a good example. If I can only be half as open and loving as you, it is an accomplishment to my benefit. You are a wonderful special person and I so appreciate having you as my friend too.
CatcherAl in reply to WarriorMouse: Mousiekins, you don't need any lessons from me poppet. From the first time you were introduced into my life you shone like a star in the night sky, always polite yet with a lovely sense of fun and humour. You are like a puppy, all squirmy and totally adorable, Can't wait for Covid to be over so then I can give you a proper hug. What is a proper hug you may ask? It's a hug where your feet leave the ground and I whirl you in a circle until you're dizzy and filled with Champagne bubbles. xoxox
