What Does Love Mean?

Mais um ano chegando ao fim.
É hora de fechar cadernos e livros, limpar a mesa de trabalho, comprar o presente do amigo secreto e ir ao jantar de confraternização.
Também é hora de renovar objetivos e projetos lembrando que, se um passinho de cada vez pode levar uma tartaruga longe, porque não a nós?
Desejo a todos Boas Festas e um Ano Novo repleto de coisas ótimas.

Encerro com algumas respostas de um grupo de crianças para a pergunta ‘What does love mean?’
Enjoy.
‘Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs.’ –Chrissy, age 6
‘Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it every day..’ –Noelle, age 7
‘During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn’t scared anymore.’ – Cindy, age 8
‘My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don’t see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.’ –Clare, age 6
‘Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford.’ –Chris, age 7
‘Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day.’ -Mary Ann, age 4
The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman’s yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, ‘Nothing , I just helped him cry’.
