How did it happen that their lips came together? How does it happen that birds sing, that snow melts, that the rose unfolds, that the dawn whitens behind the stark shapes of trees on the quivering summit of the hill? A kiss, and all was said. Victor Hugo
Any day or time can be a special occasion. On the most love saturated day of the year, one doesn’t need to say I love you along with everyone else who feels obligated to do so. Neither must something be purchased. Love certainly can’t be packaged into a box tied with a pretty bow and bought or sold. Love is a commitment and a choice. It’s a decision that can be made everyday. But a nice little surprise gift on Valentine’s Day is often gladly received.
As a token, or to make them smile, here are a few suggestions of gifts for the special someone in your life. May you both live long, laugh together till the new day dawns, and love like the entire universe exists between your gentle soft embrace.
