Love lessons from the bush

Love is…about adoring each other

It’s about testing your limits

Working together towards a better future

Holding on to your loved one, no matter how

Accepting each other’s differences

Persisting, even if in the face of rejection

Taking care of each other’s every need

Making time for one another

Making love, not war

Sometimes crossing boundaries

In the end..love conquers all and should last an eternity

Happy Valentine’s day. Let every day be Valentine’s day…
