Without much thought, we express love each day in various ways. Speaking or hearing words of endearment are music to our ears. We do nice things for others, often without the recipient even knowing. We give gifts to one another and sometimes it is a common, non-descript thing that has meaning only to two people. We find ways to spend quality time together and often our expressions of love include the non-verbal as in some form of touch. These are things we do because it feels good to be connected and to share happiness with another person or people.
Greek philosophers categorized love into seven different types — who knew? If you want to have some fun and analyze the ways that love impacts your life, consider keeping track in a Love Journal.
