Happy Hearts

Love works in miracles every day: such as weakening the strong, and stretching the weak; making fools of the wise, and wise men of fools; favouring the passions, destroying reason, and in a word, turning everything topsy-turvy. - Marguerite De Valois

So today is actually turning out to be a pretty great day. I made it to work EARLY this morning, instead of my normal five minutes late. When I got here, I already had two cards sitting on my desk and within the span of about 15 minutes I was given: a pink cupcake, a chocolate-covered cherry, a chocolate heart and a Hershey's Kiss. As of 11:30 a.m. I have resisted eating all it. (Hello, Jamaica.)

When Sarah arrived we walked over to CNN Center to our favorite Starbucks and were wished a happy Valentine's Day by three random men during the short two block walk. Our favorite Starbucks kids were working and though they always act happy to see us, today was a little extra special. I got my latte with whip today, because I am crazy like that.

I also just found out that I'm getting a nice tax refund, despite upping my exemptions to 2. Finally, owning a home pays off! Of course, I will probably have to use that money to hire an exterminator to get rid of WHATEVER it is that is living in my crawl space or walls or wherever that makes Montego whine and cry and paw at the floor. I am just praying it's a squirrel (not a rat) and that he doesn't die there. (Awesome.)

So Happy Valentine's Day, friends. May you all know that you are Loved.

"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us." 1 John 4:7-12
