So true, your words. Though I don't have the confidence of expressing it as openly, at least I do tell others I appreciate them and what they're doing. But I'll work on that.

Many thanks.

As I said, love's a word I always throw around, but there are many ways to express affection and support for others. I appreciate your steadfast friendship.

I must admit that the first thought I had when reading your article was, I need to get a dog.

Dogs are the best! I've been very lucky to have some great ones in my day.

What a blessing to be friends with you and Doug! You're part of my Marathon community, which is now my home.

My younger brother taught me this phrase: "I love you and there's nothing you can do about it." Just accepting that others love us may take some

getting used to but there's nothing we can do about it. So Merry Christmas my friend. Yep--I love you and there's nothing you can do about it.

Your younger brother has some serious wisdom there. Accepting love from others requires us to accept ourselves.

Merry Christmas to you and yours, and I am grateful for our friendship.
