Hearts - real and imaginary

Winter's chill has set in up here, and it seems like a good time to recommit ourselves to romance. Heck, since it's February, National Heart Month, it's a good time to perform a couple of checks on the old ticker, right?

Not only is this the real heart month, where we should all do a systems check, make sure we're taking care of ourselves, getting out of the chair now and then to exercise, and eat good food, it's also the time of Saint Valentine, or the Valentine's Day Massacre, whichever you believe V-Day celebrates - or commemorates. *grin* So, hearts are all around us. We've just come away from a disagreement with folks who maybe thought that same-sex romance isn't romance. We're here to say that YES it is. Not only is it romance, it's real, and it's in our hearts.

We ponder what love is, and what it isn't. Let's just accept that it exists all around us, if we open our (dare I say it) hearts to it. Love is in the smile of a child, the warm hug from a long-absent friend, the forgiving look from a mate. We're concentrating on the good, the positive, the noblest of emotions, and this month is as good a time as any to celebrate what makes us all too human.

If you enjoy the allure of romance -- its fumbling beginnings, the dance of desire, the excitement of the chase, and the sweetness of surrender, join us under the rainbow. You'll find so much to enjoy.
