Some relationships are special. Their presence in our life lifts our spirits just knowing they are there. Our love and affection for them transcend time and distance, and we never feel distant from them even if we don’t meet them regularly.

When we are feeling low and the going gets difficult, reminding ourselves of the special people in our life lifts our spirit.

We start understanding and appreciating the qualities that make them special. They become a source of inspiration for us and we see our own life getting shaped with their influence.

Their appreciation and warmth can become a source of encouragement for us. Someone we admire and care deeply for can give our enthusiasm a boost and carry us through the day.

They have a special place in our life. Not only do we find ourselves ready and willing to go out of our way to do things for them, but we also look forward to being there for them in their hour of need.

Our relationship with them is special because we respect them. Over the years we understand that respect for someone translates into natural affection. Time spent with them is enjoyable and precious, and it becomes memories we recount in a happy way.

They bring out the best in us. When we are with them or think of their presence in our life, we operate from a space of joy, unleashing our potential in a manner that sometimes inspires us as well.

These special relationships are a blessing. They transcend the limitations of possessiveness, expectations, and ego. In a way, we feel complete with them in our life.  And they know how much we value them and how special they are because of an ordinary fact – they know we truly and deeply love them.
