Quiet...it's something that everyone craves, now and then...if not to get away from the maddening crowd, just to chill for awhile.

But there's a different kind of quietness that the Luv Doc craves, that is the kind that is enjoyed in the presence of a lover, favorite partner or even friend...if they're the cuddlin' kind! Much is said about rekindling a marriage or partnership, while little is said about the joys of just staying close in someone else's embrace. Most of us have enjoyed a fleeting moment of quiet, loving and sensual togetherness. Yet it's rare that many of us seek it out.

My challenge to you, my dear lovelies, is to make it more of a priority in your life...give it a chance, make it a 'date night', or a regularly scheduled activity. Life, these days, is far too busy, too stressful with far too little TLC...Tender Loving Care! So, try it...for a change...or make it more regular, even if you do.

Don't get the Luv Doc wrong...I haven't given up luscous, hot, passionate sex in the least. And, I'm not advocating that your 'love diet' consist of only hugs and cuddles...not in the least. But, really, when was the last time you partook of more subdued and often more intimate forays? Chance are in the house's favor if I bet you can't remember when that last time was...right?

By the way, the album...yes, LP...as in a record title was the inspiration for this post. Supertramp was already a much loved and played group by the time this 'doc' graduated from high school! Ooops, I'm dating myself...oh, well!?! As a stroll down that memory lane, let me quote you some of the lyrics from the title song:

So, lovin' friends and friendly lovers, do not wait another moment...take the hand of the one you love and spend some quiet time getting to know each other...just a little bit better!

Cuddles, deLuvDoc
