"As human beings, we have two jobs in life. The first is to learn; the second, to love. After forty odd years, I have learned that love is not an emotion. Love is an action. Love means freely giving away that which is the very best you have to offer." ~Mary Beth Abordo "Musings on the Snow Moon" 12/06
