It’s Sunday evening and my thoughts are turning to all things romance, so I thought that I would share some of the more memorable quotes on love that have passed my way!
Memory is to love what the saucer is to the cup.
Elizabeth Bowen
“Lust is what makes you keep wanting it, even when you have no desire to be with each other. Love is what makes you keep wanting to be with each other, even when you have no desire to do it.”
Judith Viorst
I hold it true, whate’er befall;

“The former Spice Girl has been offered the chance to host a US TV show, but since being dropped from the England team David’s obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) has got worse and his wife fears he is too vulnerable to be left alone.
A source told Britain’s Closer magazine: “This is a hard one for Victoria. Career breaks like this don’t come along often, but David and her boys mean the world to her. The fashion world respects Victoria so this show could be huge.”
Someone tell me why this is so hard? Because you are a celebrity, family no longer comes first? …read more

I’m tired and cranky. We had bull dozers show up in our yard at 7:30 on a Saturday and I just wasn’t ready to get up, so for the rest of the day, my mind has just been mush. So, I thought that maybe some of you would have some interesting tales to tell… for example… where did you meet your husband?
I met mine at a New Year’s Eve Party. It was a blind date if you can believe it!

We are one another’s angels… unknown
So, that would mean that we need to do an extra good turn or two each day right? And those thoughtless words that we utter without a thought for feelings that we might hurt? I think that we are going to have to be more careful in the future. It take’s so little to be kind to someone.

By now everyone knows that their four year marriage isn’t working out and it is going to cost McCartney big time. Something like a million for every week that they were together. You have to wonder why he didn’t insist on a pre-nuptual agreement.
If you were going into a high profile marriage, would you sign an agreement or do you feel that it takes some of the romance out of the relationship??

“There’s a magic in the sense of longing.”From “The Haunted”
“The Haunted,” is one of those movies that is less than a blockbuster.  Aidan Quinn and Kate Beckinsale went on to stardom in spite of it, not because of it.  But it had a couple of redeeming points and this quote was one of them.
Longing is one of the most painful, yet delicious feelings that a person can experience.  It empties out a person completely and flows in like the tide, filling up the soul, like the seawater fills up the pockets in the sand.  Longing is all encompassing. …read more

Valentine’s Day is kind of a mixed blessing for me. It has wonderful memories but it also reminds me of terrible loss. So with that in mind, I bring you a variety of thoughts on love.
“…and I forgot to tell you
I love you
and the night’s too long and cold here without you…”
Sarah McLachlan
“There is nothing holier in this life of ours than the first consciousness of love – the first fluttering of its silken wings – the first rising sound and breath of that wind which is so soon to sweep through the soul, to purify or destroy.”
Henry …read more

Today is the birth date of Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States.  He is remembered for many things:  Leading the country during the Civil War, taking a stand against slavery, and delivering powerful speeches that students still memorize are just a few of history’s notations.
What is not as well known is the devotion and love Lincoln and his wife had for each other.  We toss the word “soulmate” around a lot and it is understandable why – everyone hopes to find their own soulmate and have a love that lasts a lifetime and beyond.
Mary Todd Lincoln was …read more

Thought of the Day:
“He is happiest who hath power to gather wisdom from a flower.”
Mary Howitt
Thinking Outside of the Box:
Leopold knew it. He probably was one of only a handful of men that did. Flowers speak a secret and silent language. Their language is the language of love.
Just about everyone knows that roses stand for love, but did you know different colors mean different things? For instance, a dark pink rose means “thank you,” but its light pink sister means “admiration.” And if you receive (or give) a rose that is a blended orange and …read more

Thought of the Day:
“Your life lies before you like freshly fallen snow. Be careful where you step, for every step will show.”

February is Heart Month. Of course, we know about Valentine’s Day. That is a big one. But did you know it is also Heart Month, in terms of health? During the month we celebrate love, organizations and individuals work to make others aware of heart health.
I know a lot about this issue. I lost my husband to a sudden massive heart attack when he was only 55. There was no warning at all, …read more
