I just read this in a magazine article (LivingNow, and independent Australian magazine), and it really touched me and made me smile - I wanted to share it and also learn the views and additions of you wonderful folk =D
Here it is, the recipe for love, and a healthy relationship:
[i]A dollop of acceptance,
A pinch of willingness to learn,
A spoonful of openness,
A cupful of sharing,
A tablespoon of fun and laughter,
A block of ease,
A jugful of being listened to and a basinful of being heard,
A dollop of honest communication
And a constant flow of encouragement, support and unconditional love
Plus a shake of always seeing the other as a powerful, creative being.[/i]
Thoughts, opinions and anecdotes =D

I love this, I appreciate you sharing. I too have a recipe I entered into a Marlboro Light ( I don't smoke) contest for the best chili recipe. Mines a little more risque. ;)
I can only imagine, and I'm going to do just that.
=P
I'm glad you love it =)
Even though it's corny, it's still so fantastically true, and something I appreciate from having been through times without those things.

Aww, I'm sorry you've been through times without those things. I would've temporarily adopted you through those times! I'm so very glad you found LX.
Wow we could have an entire cornfield now.
I forgot how addicting this can be. I keep saying one more discussion then I clean up the baby's toys and put away clothes - and I started that game hours ago! I want it done before Daniel gets home from work. Not that he ever says anything I just know he doesn't like the clutter!

Haha, I know - I'd forgotten how I could enjoy it so much until you re-entered the scene!
The back-and-forth banter is so entertaining and conversational =)
I do the same things with cleaning:
"one more post and I'll..."
-hang the clothes on the line
-take the clothes off the line
-put on a load of washing
-do the dishes
-clean up the flat
-have a shower
-make myself something to eat
etc etc etc
And it ALWAYS gets delayed at least an hour.
For 20 minutes I've been planning to put on a fan, do you think I've moved from this seat? Oh no =P
