A little Paris St. Valentin for you today. And while I’m on the subject, I think I’ll share a few things that I, myself, love today:

-you, for the support you give by just reading this
-the luxury of time to get lost in a new city
-how uncommercialized holidays are in Paris. When the most aggressive it gets in hanging lovely red hearts in shop windows, you know you’re not in America
-the beautiful, scrumtious pastry I will eat today
-skype for allowing me to have coffee, lunch, or dinner with some of my favorite people
-that I found a movie theater where tickets are 3.95 Euros- take that $5 Waco theaters
-family and friends everywhere
-God who is love
-and finally, a package surprise. It’ll come to no shock for a few of you that while I love everything in my surprise box from home, what I’m most excited about is my supply of black bean soup!

I know Valentine’s Day may be silly, but if nothing else, think  today of all the love you are blessed by everyday. Joyeux St. Valentin!
