Love is...

Happy Valentine's Day!   

We do not do too much around our house for Valentines.  I'd like to think we are all about showing love all the time, not just on a specific day.  Although having a reminder never hurts, so we will have sweets and little gifts to share today to celebrate the many different loves we have in this house.  

To me Valentine's Day is not just about romantic love.  It's just as important that the little bear knows and sees the love we share as a family as well.  Even the crazy mutt gets a special treat and extra loving today.  Which got my thinking about this word "Love" and all the different ways it can be explained.  

Sophocles Love Quote
If you asked 10 random people what they think love is, odds are you will get 10 completely different answers.  Honestly, if you asked the same person the same question at 10 different times in their life, you'd still get 10 unique answers.  

Browning Love Quote
Shakespear Love asks no questions

That's the cool thing about love.  It is completely personal, and our views on it are ever evolving.  I hope that this Valentine's Day (and every day) you will always have the love and joy that you need.  Also, remember that even if it is not the type of love that you were hoping for; it is still a wonderful gift to be cherished!
