Happy Valentine's Day!

On this day that reminds us to appreciate those we love... cause lets face they are the ones we often start to take for granted... Its not the extravagant gift, that the commercials emphasize, we really seek. Its the gentle touch, the kiss from lips that mean it, that we all want to receive. Here are a few of my favorite quotes about kisses and what they can mean...

Kisses kept are wasted;
Love is to be tasted.

Waiting to be warmly met.
Keep them not in waiting yet;
Kisses kept are wasted.
