Pagan or not, let's observe Valentine's Day

When I was a child, a learned a song, a line of which goes something like, "It's love, it's love, it's love that makes the world go 'round..."

Today, February 14, is Valentine's Day. It has been said that this observance has its origin in a Roman pagan rite. True or not, I'd like to think of it this way - any observance that encourages me to think of love and creatively express it, is a good thing, don't you think so?

If you agree with me, let us be agents of love today, tomorrow and always. Let's have a lot of it to go 'round.

Have a happy one, fellow bloggarts!

Valentine's Day is celebrated as "Valentine's" day because of St. Valentine. It was believed that before he was killed Valentine wrote love letters to the jailer's daughter that he signed "your Valentine."
