The People I Love
by Amy Cameron and Macy Farthing

I communicate love by my actions.
I make decisions to listen.
I manage my conflicts by making an effort to settle arguments.
I give the other person space.
I manage my stress by talking through problems.
I connect with my friends through activities.
I make healthy choices.
I spend quality time with my friends.
I spend quality time with my family.

Review
I love my friends and my family, and I do things for them and listen to them to show I love them. Even though we argue sometimes, I do my best to resolve disagreements. The good times far outweigh the bad, and I enjoy eating, laughing, and spending time with the people I love.
