In Honor of Valentine's Day

Yes, tomorrow is V-Day. I am not really a very mushy, lovey-dovey person but I read a quote in February's issue of Glamour magazine at work the other day talking about love. It reads: "It's okay to show up at a guy's house with a dozen roses and declare your undying affection. It's okay to have too much to drink and call your ex 20 times then be embarrassed when you realize your number must have shown up on his caller ID. It's okay because making a fool out of yourself for love is ultimately about YOU, how much you have to give and the distances you will travel to keep your heart wide open when everything around you makes you feel like slamming it shut and soldering it closed."

I've done this, blog friends. I am notorious for wearing my heart on my sleeve. Sometimes it's blown up in my face leaving me devastated and crushed and sometimes it's been wonderful. I guess love and loss is part of this amazing adventure called life.

I agree with you. Better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. And I will add, and to have shown it!!!!
