Love is...

Published: Thursday, 19 February 2009

  • Spending long, snug evenings with your significant other.
  • Making time to look after your family.
  • Jesting, gabbing and chilling with friends.
  • Building something from nothing; persevering even when everyone else around you has given up; giving everything you’ve got; climbing up arduous dips and tobogganing down slopes so quickly you don’t even know which way is up or down; and emerging smiling no matter what, because you know you held on so tightly during the ride - and you survived!
