Valentine's is coming, and maybe that doesn't mean much to you.  Maybe you'll be working.  Maybe your relationship to celebrate love has been shattered.  Maybe you have complicated feelings about the story of Valentine, a cut-throat marketing gimmick by business people.  That's all understandable.

We're all trying to make sense of where we're going.  For me, a valentine's evening marks our existence.  Planning for Valentine's humbles me, and I am not defying nature to stay with the flow to celebrate love.

As usual, I will head off to Ling Ling for a sundowner with my husband.   We will sit at the bar, he with a beer and me with a margarita.  If we are in the mood, we imbue in another round.  That's our typical night-out ritual.  This Valentine's, I am going to observe how other couples celebrate love.

Different folks, different strokes.  Whatever, I wish you lots of love.
