Isn't Valetine's great? It's so fun to look at all the little cards and bags of candy the boys bring home. I like walking into the grocery store for weeks and seeing rows of pink heart shaped cookies, piles of gorgeous roses, and glittery cards and plates in a sea of red and pink and white. I get a kick out of displays of jewelry and perfume and chocolates in big red boxes. It's wonderful that we set aside a day just to celebrate the thing that makes everything matter: Our loved ones.
Some quotes for your blog viewing pleasure..........
"Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction."
--Antoine de Saint-Exupery
"Love at first sight is easy to understand; it's when two people have been looking at each other for a lifetime that it becomes a miracle." --Amy Bloom
"Whoso loves, believes the impossible." --Elizabeth Barrett Browning
And these quotes made me think of my wonderful husband, my best friend:
"All love that has not friendship for its base, is like a mansion built upon sand." E.W. Wilcox
"Marriage is not merely sharing the fettucini, but sharing the burden of finding the fettucini restaurant in the first place." --Calvin Trillin
"Grow old with me, the best is yet to be." Elizabeth Barrett Browning
You know a quote you won't hear me celebrating? "Love means never having to say you're sorry." Uh...what? I don't THINK so. Love means having to say you're sorry many, many times. And it also means occasionally having to say, "Of course I love that sweater," and, "You don't LOOK fat," and "I DID like that thing you made," and, "No, that doesn't bother me at all."
I am so fortunate to have so many people to love. For my family and loved ones out there.....thank you for being part of my life. I love you.
This one says it best:
"Love doesn't make the world go round; love is what makes the ride worthwhile." --F.P. Jones
