Happy Valentine's Day! [Sharon Hollingsworth]

In my previous blog posting I alluded to a romantic interlude in Glenrowan at the time the Kelly Gang were about in "A Strange Woman From Benalla." In this posting I don't reference the Kellys any further but I do commemorate one of the best holidays of the year, at least for those of us who are incurable romantics! Oh, yes, February 14th is nearly upon us and it is a time for all the good things in life....chocolate...flowers...frilly (or silly) greeting cards with declarations of love and affection...dinner out...and it is a holiday that does not require one having to deal with in-laws! It is full of win!


The photo below of two of my (sadly, late) cats, Bluster and Solomon Grundy (the one-eyed wonder cat!), aptly illustrates a very famous and beautiful quote about love written by Antoine de Saint Exupery that bears sharing today:

Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction. 



 And here is one from Dr. Seuss that is good to ponder on:


 You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.


And there is this one from Lord Byron:

Love will find its way through paths where wolves would fear to prey.



      HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
