LOVE!

What a weekend!  Family visiting, meals prepared, weddings and receptions attended!  A lot goes into preparing for a big weekend!  And WOW!  The wedding ended up being pretty fun.  They are often thought of as something you have to do...and even though they are; upon reflection you realize their importance.  The importance of the work the now married couple put into growing their relationship, the thought they put into preparing for the wedding ceremony, the creativity involved in putting on the reception party, and the work ahead in maintaining this bond they have established.  I would say the honeymoon is well-deserved!  

As I was sitting at a meeting today, I noticed the quote that the planner of the meeting had added to his agenda...

"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened."
                                                              -Anatole France

Anatole France - Awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1921 "in recognition of his brilliant literary achievements, characterized as they are by a nobility of style, a profound human sympathy, grace, and a true Gallic temperament."

Of course Tootsie Roll and I agree completely with France's quote...but we might change the wording a bit to say,

"Until one has loved, a part of one's soul remains unawakened."

                                                     -Tootsie Roll & Traci
