Principle in the type:  "The real essence of happiness in marriage lies not so much in romance as in an anxious concern for the comfort and well-being of one's companion.  Thinking of self alone and of the gratification of personal desires will build neither trust, love, nor happiness.  Only when there is unselfishness will love, with its concomitant qualities, flourish and blossom."       Gordon B. Hinckley

Two birds with one stone?  That cliche was invented for this post.  (Bet you didn't know?)   Miss. Lady did a beautiful job singing our national anthem last week!  (Happy President's Day!)  (Don't Miss Video Here)  ~ And whoa what a pretty red suit she's wearing!  (Happy Valentine's Day!)  .... See?  A total two-fer!   To the all the lovebirds.  Enjoy!

Principle in the type:  "Only you, you're the only thing I'll see/Forever/In my eyes in my words/And in everything I do/Nothing else but you/Ever  ....   Today, the world was just an address/A place for me to live in/No better than all right/But here you are/And what was just a world is a star/Tonight                           Tonight     (from Westside Story)

THE KISS HEARD AROUND THE WORLD

You know the kiss.  It was the day the U.S declared victory over Japan, and a sailor in New York City exuberantly laid one on the closest nurse.  What a glimpse of excitement, joy, surrender, and romance it was captured by photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt.  Check out the link if you need a refresher.  (story link)     Edith Shain, said nurse, passed away a few years ago, but her moment lives on.  She admitted once, that maybe she should have gotten the unknown fella's name and number!  

Principle in the type:  "Lust is temporary, romance can be nice, but love is the most important thing of all.  Because without love, lust and romance will always be short-lived.  Danielle Steel
