REALLY loving....

"It is easy to say, 'I love you.' It is more challenging to actually love, because when times get hard, or people behave in ways that hurt or disappoint us, or they continue to make bad choices and hurt themselves, that is when our love is put to the test. True love is forgiving, encouraging, patient, helpful, empathetic and enduring. These are the actions that give real meaning to, 'I love you.'" - Regina, from Romancing Your Soul
