As I sit here, twirling my glass of Pinot Noir, admiring it's rich color and aroma, I can't help but think of the process it took to get this wonderful piece of heaven into my wine glass.
So many different steps carefully executed, so much nurturing love poured into this masterpiece, starting at the harvesting of the sweet grapes and ending in a bottle for all to savor.
Well, relationships are quite like that beautiful bottle of wine. You have to create them, nurture them with some TLC, maintain them, and cherish them.
No one said it would be an easy task. Yes, relationships can be at times very frustrating, but with a little love, compassion, and patience, you too can create a wonderful piece of heaven.
No, I'm not speaking from experience. I'm not writing this from a comfy couch, wrapped in my sweetheart's arms. Truth is, I have no sweetheart. My past experiences can be compared to, unfortunately, a bad bottle of wine or two. Some wine makers can relate. I'm still waiting on my perfect harvest.
So, the moral of my story is, don't rush into or ignore love, but take good care of it. Shower it with attention, sprinkle it with some kindness, and above all, maintain the proper balance of gentle love and care. You can never go wrong with this recipe, I promise.
