Isn't it nice to be loved? For big reasons, small reasons, or even no reason at all, other than you are you. The craving we have to be loved and appreciated, validated and enjoyed is a universal human phenomenon.
There's something quite lovely about being as appreciated as enthusiastically, as richly, as authentically, as practically and as humbly by someone as much a child is about her new pink boots (and even, or maybe even especially, if it is said in an "over the shoulder, I'm busy" kind of way):
We all long to be loved. We all need to love--in little, big, ordinary, spectacular, warm, cuddly, official, practical, spontaneous, and planned ways.
Go, let someone know that they are loved by you.
