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

Thought of the Day:
“Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.”
Oscar Wilde
Thinking Outside of the Box:
With six billion people on the planet, it is hard, at times, to think about what it is to be an individual. That’s a lot of people. No two alike they say – well, twins are similar and certainly alike in the DNA department, but their own experiences shape a different personality.
