Good morning my DU family,

[JMCKUSICK]

12. Thank you SheltieLover,

No I haven't, but I agree so completely with your statement.

Love requires work, effort, study, and practice. Love, while felt in the most wonderful ways, in practice is choices, actions, commitment and follow through.

"When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me."

Love is kind of like that, in that our romantic notions are rooted in childhood and I'm grateful for that seed ever being planted.

As a child, we want to experience love, as am adult, I want to practice it, or offer it, and as I wrote yesterday, the more I know you, the more capable of love I am.

Thank you for our conversation through these messages SheltieLover, the affirmation that you and so many others have offered is the very essence of love itself.
