The 365 Love Quotes Project began as a tribute to my wife for our 18th anniversary. It's an ongoing project highlighting committed-based love quotes, not just romance-based ones... one for every day of the year. This is part of my "Valentines All Year" philosophy.

2/365 Real Friendship

THE QUOTE

"Real friendship is shown in times of trouble;

prosperity is full of friends."

—Euripedes

THE LOVE NOTE

K—

You and I have been true friends to each other in good times and bad. We never give up on each other (and for good reason—we're each awesome and we're awesomer together!). So, "Bring it!!!" is all we've said to whatever comes our way. Neither of us have time for fair-weather friends, especially when we know what real friendship is.

Love you bestie,

—J

THE GREAT RELATIONSHIP PRINCIPLE

True love is based in real friendship. Others come and go. True love stays. Not because it always feels like it, but because of choice, commitment and determination. If that doesn't equal love then I don't know what love is.
