What's the most surprising thing about love?

Here are some answers to that question (not my personal ones) that I read today:



"Love is not deterred by morning breath or aging skin or lack of makeup or extra weight, because true love has a solid foundation."


"It takes on so many different forms: love for my husband, for my cat, for my friends, for ice cream."


"The older I get, the better it feels to love than be loved."


"How simple it can be.  Love is felt through the small gestures and quiet moments that emerge throughout any given day: the sound of my husband whistling, the touch of my daughter's hand on my cheek, my son's smile on the basketball court when he finds my face in the crowd."


"One word: everything."


Thought I'd share =)

Timeless Truths

I read this little diddy in a magazine today, and I thought it was some great food for thought for women of all ages.  Enjoy!


**Not youth, nor beauty is so much to be envied as the state of the woman who has freed herself from the fear of age.


**It is much easier to prevent a wrinkle than to remove one later.


**Be good to your hands because they are inveterate tattletales.  Make sure they will say nice things about you.


**Never become the kind of wife who says: "I don't care how I look.  I'm married."
