Love means...opening your inner heart to accept others as they are, no matter what their beliefs or history. And Love means honestly loving yourself, faults and all, so that you can learn to Love others. Easier said than done, I know, but it's my goal.
We do overuse the word love out of habit, as I think our electronic society has encouraged us to conform to the norm rather than "use our words". :)
We Enjoy our cup of coffee or a meal...we Love our children and our family and hopefully, Life.
We Appreciate someone's abilities to paint, cook a fine meal, or tell a great story.
Perhaps we should watch more closely what words we choose to use?
