"That love is all there is
Is all we know of love" Emily Dickinson
The wonderful thing about Valentines Day is that the smallest of gestures can make the day so special. A hand-written note with a "little something" can make our day. I gave up on fancy dinners in crowded restaurants ages ago in favor of sushi in our favorite little place with our daughter and finally found a Valentines Day tradition I can remember forever.
For all the other Valentines in our lives -- the friends, kids' teachers, sisters and mothers here are a few "little somethings" that will brighten up their day without breaking the bank.
