To My Valentine

In our office we have a little sign which reads:  "Love is patient, love is kind."  I think it is appropriate right there above my desk.  It reminds me that while love is romantic and exciting, it is also virtuous and practical in many ways.  I am grateful for a Valentine who is patient and kind to me.  I appreciate that so much in him, for I know that at times I can be difficult.    Our sign also reminds me that because I likewise love him, I can be patient too when things/circumstances/situations don't go as planned.  We both are really just trying our best, and that is all we can ask.  I'm so lucky to have such a great man as my Valentine.  I truly am so very fortunate.  He is the best.

(Great sign, uh?  This was taken in Sydney, Australia!)

Happy Valentine's Day. 

On this day set aside to remember those we love, I wish you all lots of

 love and JOY this day.  Have a wonderful day!
