I don’t want to know how much you are loved, I want to know how much you love others.
I don’t want to know how many Valentine’s Day cards you got, I want to know how many you gave out.
I don’t want to know how long you have waited for love. I want to know who you decided to love today.
I don’t want to know how big your diamond is. I want to know how big your heart is.
I don’t want to know how much joy you have, I want to know how your joy touched others.
I want to know, I need to know, that our house, our common house of love, is big enough for all the pain in the world. Make it so today.

>Amber, getting love is nice, but not something easily controlled. Giving love on the other hand, is also nice and completely within your control. That's why I like it!
Betsy, I try to make as much as I can myself, and with gifts I buy, I try to be original and unique.
>Probably my favorite one yet! It's sad that Valentine's day is a just a "showy" day…who got the biggest overpriced flowers or teddy bear. We should appreciate, show and give love everyday!
>Your words ring true. Valentine's day seems to have become more about the "me" and less about the "love" that we share with others, whether it be our family, our partner or our friends. All I know is that I love my friends, I love my family and I had a wonderful day because I spent it with all of them 🙂
