Some sayings really hit home.
Tonight, when I finally took a breath and sat this sore body down to rest this tired mind, I had the television on as background sound.

Daily thought: Many feel their lives are not complete until they fall in love, or find the one. No matter how full someone’s life is, s/he feels a void without a romantic partner.

That day of love is fast approaching and soon our calendars will land on February 14, most popularly known as Valentine’s Day.
It creeps up on us every year. Twenty-four hours of sadness and longing for broken hearts and those who are desperately yearning for their other halves. Twenty-four hours of bliss for those who have found a romantic partner and celebrate the commercialization of Eros, the passionate love defined in Greek mythology as a desire for another person’s physical body.
