A Rock Solid Valentine's Day!

There is something wonderful about Valentine's Day.  To set aside a single day to celebrate love is a unique idea.  After all, when you think about the things we commemorate with holidays, Valentine's Day is indeed an anomaly. We have holidays to celebrate victory in war, the change from one year to the next, Presidents and the birth of the nation. All our national holidays are about events or people - only Valentine's Day is about love.

To celebrate this year, I made a card for my lovely wife that had on it's cover a photo I took a couple of weeks ago while walking along the banks of the Cowlitz River in Washington State.  It was a beautiful, overcast day with lots of fog that created a feeling of mystery and peacefulness.  I had been walking for about an hour when I looked into the river and saw this heart shaped rock.  As soon as I saw it I knew I had my Valentine's Day card for 2011!  I hope you had a great, peaceful and love filled day. And that all your dreams of love and peace come true.  Happy Valentine's Day!
