All you need is love....

That's what the Beatles proclaimed at least.

During my many years of being single (I was a late bloomer on the marriage front) I did not necessarily always embrace this day.  

 

But as I was just saying to a friend......

Today is about LOVE.  Pure and simple.

Love for your kids, love for your cool & highly intelligent girlfriends, love for your pets...

Love for all, not just husbands, wives and significant others...

LOVE!
