Editor's Corner

Good morning, fellow travelers!

I only have two more Valentine’s Day-related phrases for you from my buddy Ron:

• Love is like the wind
• Valentine’s Day Sucks

I think you can see which camp he’s in when it comes to this day. He said he was joking about “Valentine’s Day Sucks,” but when I first read his email, I thought both of these phrases were jokes.

“Love is like the wind”? I was thinking I’d never heard that. And I was also thinking, “If love is like the wind and your mate eats a lot of beans, well that’s a bad thing, isn’t it?” I searched for this phrase, and at first I was coming up empty.

I tried it again, and this time I found a person’s name associated with “love is like the wind.” (I keep singing the 1980’s song Ride Like the Wind when I read this phrase, and it’s throwing me off. It wasn’t Christopher Cross.)

“Love is like the wind” is from an American author, Nicholas Sparks. You may recognize him from his 23 bestsellers, or perhaps the movie The Notebook. When you read the full line, and his explanation, it makes more sense.

“Love is like the wind, you can’t see it, but you can feel it." Which is why I believe you can never say that love is not around you, you have to believe that it’s surrounding you and have faith that you are loved and are willing to love back.

My maturity level is not the highest at times. I keep reading that as “Love is like the wind, you can’t see it, but you can smell it.” Maybe that’s because I married a man with a bean intolerance?

Happy (early) Valentine’s Day!

And Sylvie sends big kisses to everyone!
