Hello with much joy to you! I have received your picture & absolutely love it.. I look forward to sharing a second one of my choosing, as you've kindly suggested, in a post here once I've the time to peruse. Already, we are both happier. Art is certainly a magic wand, as any kindness is. I thank YOU for your thanks & kindness both!! |_|) “Art is unquestionably one of the purest and highest elements in human happiness. It trains the mind through the eye, and the eye through the mind. As the sun colors flowers, so does art color life.” ~ John Lubbock

It’s common to start with joyful ‘Hi!’ and I would like to do that, however, my message is my desire to gift you one of my pictures. I would send it as the e-card, but I don’t know your email and therefore I cant fulfill my dreams. Can I be happy?
I thank you for the desire to welcome you to my blogs- for the desire to participate in the sharing of everything we have the best – I thank you for the chance to say THANK YOU.
That’s magical wand that needs no comments – Thank you

I missed the day too, was sick as a dog, but I managed somehow to tell my lady how much I loved her and wrote her a poem to go along with it... I loved the way you covered the subject, you're such a brilliant writer, I'm humbled... Peace and white light, Nick

Poems are far better than dinners & such.. Hope you didn't stay sick long & were able to do some celebrating soon thereafter tho'. Surely your “cold from HELL” wasn't still the same illness!?
As you're such a thoughtful blogger, your opinion means so very much & I deeply thank you for the amazing compliment!

Thanks for this excellent essay on St. Valentine's Day. It really is unfortunate the way the concept has become so commercialized and made to focus only on "coupling" in America and some other countries, but it is so true that this is not the intended concept.

I lived in Peru for awhile and, while I was there I saw it celebrated in much more the intended way, with everybody celebrating their love for one another in kind ways, reminding each other of how much they appreciated their friendships, etc., and the love that they had been blessed with in the various areas of their lives. There can never be anything wrong with reminding each other that we are loved! :-)

As with CHRISTmas, it's important not to dismiss an opportunity to focus on something with great value due to it being misrepresented. Of course, it doesn't help that many forget there are other kinds of love besides coupling.
I oft prefer how holidays are celebrated in other countries, likely due to their richer cultures & longer histories, so it's nice to know Valentine's Day is also being done right out there in the world.

PS: Have I mentioned lately that I love you?!

That is so lovely, thank you. I only wish I had read it on V-Day, before Jim and I got in a huge fight! After 13 years it’s so easy to take eachother for granted sometimes. I’ll try to keep your beautiful words in mind next time.

Thanx for the hope that my words can/will make a difference. I just wish I’d written this in time for you to read it in time! Remember tho’, all’s well that ends well.. I hope you’ve found a loving moment or ten since. A lack of caring is far worse than any lack of effort; at least you two clearly still care.

Beautifully worded. And you wrapped it all up (not necessarily in pink frills) with that last sentence. Thanks for the inspiration and the broader perspective on this holiday.

I’m relieved to know I conveyed my love for love without the mush.. Love needs to be far more commonplace yet far less taken for granted.

Meanwhile, I love my compliments; encouragement always welcome!
