LOVE


I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.

No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry.

Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.

The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them.

Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.

To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.

Don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you.

Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.

There's always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around.

Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you.

Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.

I loved this and thought I'd share it with you all.

yours in recovery,
Maria

lovely (maria).  enjoyed your share.

these concepts allowed me to detach with love.  my wife and i will be celebrating our anniversary tomorrow -- 2,190 miles apart.  i was so full of hurt and resentments while we were together.  after finding program, i realize that the hurt, deciept, active drinking, manipulation, anger, etc, that she doled out in our relationship was NOT about hurting me.  she was doing the best she could with the tools, mind, and understanding she had on hand.  such a baffling and cunning disease.  i wish i could give her a hug, tomorrow, and tell her that she is still loved, even though i can't live with her.

yours in recovery

Aloha Maria!!

An oldie and a goodie.  Thanks for bringing it to the board.  Here are two more that I also value.

"Love is the complete and total acceptance of any other person for exactly who they are."
(any other person also includes the alcoholic)

"Love cannot exist without some dimension of justice."

(((((Hugs)))))
