When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth.
Billy – age 4

Some say…
Love is a feeling dependent on current circumstances. Love is a made up human construct. Love is finicky. Love is possessing. Love hurts. Love doesn’t last. Love is a nice word for lust. Love must be earned. I’ll only love you if you love me. Love means you would take the blame for me. Love means I own you. Love makes you weak. Love is irrational.
Others say…
Love your neighbor as yourself. Love is a verb. Love is forever. Love is unconditional. Love is the answer to every question. Love is selfless. Love is letting go. Love is an act of your will. Love nourishes. Love wants the best for you. Love is patient. Love is kind. Love makes you strong. Love makes you feel like you belong.
I have heard so much about love and what it means to people. But never have I heard such an eloquent way to describe love as stated by 4-year old Billy in the above quote.

That’s the best thing I’ve heard all week. I read it from Facebook, but haven’t been able to figure out how to comment from my iPad.
I’m back to blogging. Maybe once a month to begin. Stop by and check out the new me!

Love is feeling good about yourself and others, treating people how you want to be treated and accepting people for who they are and not who you think they should be
