If I cannot remain open to receive love I cannot give it. I love more than I am loved. I make it my business to be that way. How I get to that place of unconditional love is the process of learning to trust the person with more and more of myself. That's the product of good boundaries and a long association.

Yes I get hurt sometimes but somehow I've always managed to climb back on the horse. It's also my responsibility to insure that there is balance for myself in the midst of love.. if I am not good to myself how can I expect it of others?

Sometimes I forget that. That's when I suffer for it.
