Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. ~ Leo Buscaglia

My amazing husband
He took all of Friday off so that we could go shopping in Indy, then we got my nails done and went to a dinner-dance. On Saturday we went to a Valentine Social with our oldest two daughters and we had a great time dancing again
Today, I got red roses from my Valentine
Futility: "More than at any other time in history, mankind faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and hopelessness; the other, to total extinction. Let us pray that we will have the wisdom to choose correctly. I speak, by the way, not with any sense of futility, but with a panicky conviction of the absolute meaninglessness of existence."
- Woody Allen
Hope:
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

My awesome wife is my Valentine.
Two years ago today we gave each other fiancees for Valentine's Day.
This year we kinda had a gender stereotype reversal.
I've always been addicted to Whitman's Samplers, so she got me a 24 oz. box.
I got her a DVD of Queen performing at the MK Bowl in 1982.
Tonight she's making lasagna.
Vaya con Dios.
Dieu est l'amour.
Allah bidabbir.

Valentine's Day: the only holiday invented by US greeting card manufacturers. We're doing nothing, since we don't recognize invented things like Valentine's, Kwanza, widgets or snipe.

There's always gotta be at least one angry or bitter person every time a holiday comes around...

I am not the least bit angry that Americans buy dinner, candy, cards and movie tickets galore on one day per year that greeting card manufacturers agreed to the date and description of... I'm just honest. To me, every day is something to be VERY thankful for, so as far as I'm concerned it's Thanksgiving Day, every single day. We live better than kings did just a generation or two ago, and many people think they're owed things like food, health insurance, a car or shelter for example. We need to not only be thankful for what we do have but learn to give to those in need and always be cheerful.

It's common knowledge that the least government is the best government.
It would stand to reason that the least government is no government at all :p.

So how often do you take your wife out on a fun date?
How often do you buy her flowers?
Write her love notes?

St. Valentine's Day memorializes two early Christian martyrs (3rd century).
Using this date to honor the love between a man and wife dates back hundreds of years, long before Hallmark saw the opportunity to use it as a marketing tool.

We are doing nothing because that is the way I like it. I don't need flowers...I'd rather have a book. I don't need dinner...I can't eat anything anyway (trying to eliminate allergens). I don't need chocolates...unless they're gluten free, dairy free. He's out with a friend and I'm playing with some modeling clay. And being that we don't have kids we can do things together whenever we'd like.
I believe that the Universe is one being, all its parts are different expressions of the same energy,
and they are all in communication with each other, therefore parts of one organic whole.
This whole is in all its parts so beautiful, and is felt by me to be so intensely in earnest, that I am compelled to love it and to think of it as divine
