Happy Valentine's Day!!!
Hope your day is full of chocolate and champagne.....
Here is a short and sweet story about love. Enjoy!
A colleague of mine recently celebrated her 478 wedding anniversary. Yes, I said 478! (I'm sure you thought I made a typing error). When she got married almost 40 years ago, the Rabbi told the young couple every morning you wake up you should ask yourself "how will you love your spouse more than you did the day before?" They were touched by the Rabbi's advice and decided they would turn it into a life long contest. Since that day, every month on their anniversary date the couple has exchanged cards. No matter where they were physically or emotionally; good times or challenging times, they always kept the tradition. Although it may sound strange to constantly be exchanging cards, to them it represents a clean slate. Whatever happened the previous month was ancient history and a new month was a fresh start.
Although life seems to get more complicated from generation to generation, sometimes it's reading a story like this that reminds us what love is suppose to be about.....
