Thankful Thoughts

One thing that most people, myself included, are thankful for, is the fact that you have someone that loves you. Whether it be family or friends, it's always a great feeling to know that someone will have your back unconditionally. And when you have both, there's nothing better.

But there is one thing that can enhance that feeling sevenfold (and yes, I said seven..don't judge me..lol). That's the love of a significant other. One who can bring out feelings in you that you would otherwise have bottled up in a deep dark corner of your soul, never to be released...and to know that they have those same feelings for you, only puts you higher in the realm of happy.

This is what Lalah Hathaway was singin about in her remake of Luther Vandross's hit "Forever, For Always, For Love". She's reminiscing about a past love, and this man made her feel like the top of the world was her stomping grounds. Unfortunately, they broke up, and she wishes that she could do it all again...but this time, righting what illed their first time. I know that we've all had those moments where we longed for the days of exes gone past. She definitely put all of her father's intensity into her version, making me believe that she was feelin what her father felt when he performed it.

The question of the moment is this: would it work this time around? I think that it could...especially if you take what went wrong in the first go around, and work on that, while keeping the good things intact. Once you get that equation up and running safely, there's no way why you and the S.O. shouldn't be in love

"Forever
For Always
For Love"
