I really try to be this way the year-round but can&#8217;t say I&#8217;m always successful. Join me as I deliver some personal Valentine&#8217;s Day cards around. I&#8217;m even including some links to a few of my favorite love songs. &#8220;To love or have loved, that is enough. Ask nothing further. There is no other pearl to be found in the dark fold of life.&#8221; Victor Hugo, Les Miserables. This lady stole my heart many years ago, and I&#8217;m glad she kept it! &#8221; The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart.&#8221; Helen Keller A Valentine&#8217;s Day card to&#8230;sisterly love. A Valentine&#8217;s Day card to&#8230;little sister love. A Valentine&#8217;s Day card to&#8230;brotherly love. A Valentine&#8217;s Day card to&#8230;the love of family. &#8221; Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.&#8221; Maya Angelou A Valentine&#8217;s Day card to&#8230;the love of creative souls. A Valentine&#8217;s Day card to&#8230; loving images,&#8230; beautiful and indescribable. A Valentine&#8217;s Day card to..the love of your favorite pet. (This was my first dog.) A Valentine&#8217;s Day card to&#8230;the love of human touch. So very important today! A Valentine&#8217;s Day card to&#8230;the love of new experiences. &#8221; I love you in a place where there is no space or time.&#8221; Leon Russell A Valentine&#8217;s Day card to&#8230;the love of being free in the great outdoors. A Valentine&#8217;s Day card for&#8230;the love of nature, precious, and sacred. A Valentine&#8217;s Day card for&#8230;the love of new adventures and discoveries. &#8220;&#8230;And I&#8217;m counting the steps to the door of your heart.&#8221; Neil Finn Achingly beautiful! An all-time favorite ballad, so poignant and personal. We saw her perform in a small club in NYC many years ago. A crazy love song for crazies like me. This is my favorite song. Yes,&#8230;my all-time favorite song.
