When people talk of love, they often use it purely in the sense of love between a couple.

Yet there are many forms of love that enrich our lives, some of which we barely notice.

So it’s time to look around you and realize just how much you have in your life.

1. Partners

When you love a partner, it goes through many changes, beginning with the honeymoon stage and with luck (and a lot of work) evolving into long-term security.

And it’s not just for the young!

Doesn’t your heart lift when you see an elderly couple holding hands?2

2. Children

They need you even when they’re adults, and having a chubby pair of arms flung around your neck just makes you feel so happy.2

3. Family

My sisters and I would always be there for each other if one of us was in need.

I really can’t imagine a world without them.

4. Friends

Yet they are out there.

If you have friends who love and accept you for who you are, who never criticize or judge and always support you when you need it, they are to be cherished.2

5. Pets

Oh no it isn’t.

Letting an animal into your heart is amazing, they give you years of companionship and are worth every penny and every moment.

My cat is one of the best things in my life.

Just a cat?

I think not.
