If you were to receive only one Valentine's Day gift, what would you want it to be?

A Little Love Is All Liz Smith Needs

I got it – today – a really delicious little card saying "I love you today, tomorrow and forever," and I don’t need anything more than that.

I would open my next 401K statement to see a miracle had occurred.

I’ll have the only Valentine’s Day gift I want. I’ll be in Florida with my husband, granddaughter, Chloe and other loved ones.

What Does Dave Matthews Have to Do With Julia Reed's Holiday?

A winning lottery ticket. Short of that, I am going to have a pretty nice day. I have a husband I love, and a dog who COULD have won Westminster, and two of my oldest friends (sisters I’ve known since birth) are staying with us (one is renting her house out to Dave Matthews, who is making an album in New Orleans, and the other is a fine decorative painter who has a job in town) so we have a cozy, full house and life is pretty swell.

Unfortunately, I can’t grant your wish, but your comment made me want to ask where you are looking, and in which industry…

I’m not a recruiter or manager or anything like that, and I know these times are tough… be sure to use your "network" and see what’s out there. If there is nothing in your current circle of friends in family, try to expand your circle by joining a professional network/club/organization. The more people you know, the more chances you have. Plus, the extra referrals and references can’t hurt…

Good luck!

A call from my son, who hasn’t been the best at keeping contact since moving to PA. Just a “hey mom, I am doing okay”. That would be the best Valentine!

If we equate Valentines Day to a time of love and caring as we truly should, it then should not be the gift we receive on that day — but instead, what resides in our hearts for those we hold near and dear. I truly believe that is the love we give - not only on this day - but tender all year round, letting those we care for so deeply know in words - and particularly in deeds we do - that life would be far less without them as part of it is the warmest, the greatest of all life’s gifts.

GIVING love , as you will be doing tomorrow in a big hugging celebration of family together is priceless. Bring them close and you will find that the warmth in your heart will heat up the entire West. And then I will add my own love to you and the blaze should be a really really big one!!!!! Joan

I liked those little hearts, Joan, that you’d get as a kid - the ones with the little sayings on them. It was fun to compare what you had compared to the other kid.

You said it all, girlfriend, you said it all. A great Valentine day and every day a Valentine day to you and Paul.

Jeannot … another one with family all sitting close, three doggies vying for your attention at your feet OR on your lap giving puppy love non-stop, so stop and smell the roses — the true blessings that remain whole and who adore you - as why wouldn’t they, as this lady is one of a kind. The very best kind!!!!! Joan

Joan, I agree, but with all my heart, of hearts, I’d love to wake up on Valentine’s Day to the news that both houses of congress passed a Resolution that they would work together for the betterment of America, and support the Office of the President, and put people before things, and corporations, and never again pander to corporations (as they just did in this so-called new stimulus bill). My heart would swell with more joy than I’ve ever know. Alas, that is being in lust, not love, I realize, but it would for Valentine’s Day.

My mother, when she was alive, used to buy me a little box of chocolates, and that’s all I’ve ever gotten on Valentine’s. In the future, I hope to be able to give someone something.
