Purple Tulip


Happy Valentine's Day! Today is a celebration of all kinds of love -- love of significant others, love of family, love of friends. But today we should also celebrate loving one's self. Without self-love, we will never truly be able to love others or feel their love. The Rascal Flatts song, "Bless the Broken Road," best summarizes this life journey to be able to love ourselves and love others. Basically, every success and misstep is worthwhile and leads us to where we are today.

I wish you a Valentine's Day where you are overwhelmed by love. If that's not the case, please don't give up. Continue down life's road with a open, loving heart. Much love, happiness and joy await.
"Bless the Broken Road"
by Rascal Flatts

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you

Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true

Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you.
