HAPPY VD!

Happy Valentine's Day to all of you today! For those of you who believe in love, and those who are just cynical about it, as well. It's out there, not just in the flowers and boxes of chocolate. Look in the little places. Actually, I heard something today that made sense. "Love is not a feeling. It's best expressed in a series of actions". Made sense to me. I mean, I know I'm loved when my daughter pees in her new dress, and asks me, first and foremost, to help her change her drippy clothes. She trusts me and knows I'm dependable, and knows I always have spare clothes. I know I'm loved when my son asks me in a REALLY loud voice, OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN, if Saturn is going to be in the night sky tonight. He understands that I am reliable and willing to do the research for him and would NEVER, EVER say just anything just to make him stop asking. I know I'm loved when my husband leaves ALL of the shoes that he owns in the living room next to the door. He trusts that I'm agile enough to dodge most of them when I'm in a hurry to drop the kids off in the morning, and knows I'm tough enough to handle large amounts of pain when I do manage to twist my ankle on a loafer. These people trust me, they believe in me, and they leave little signs of their devotion all over the house....in the sink, on the floor, in the hamper, next to (not in!) the toilet, all over my car....I mean it's just endless, people. It's everywhere, and it's endless...that love....
