Here are some small excerpts from a Valentines Article entitled "Surviving Valentines When You're Missing In Action" which I was writing and didn't finish in time.
"It was February 14th, 2004. Valentines Day. The day created specifically as purgatory for the unattached. All during the week I had passed windows filled with valentines, roses and chocolate boxes. I fancied to myself what it might be like to receive one. A small card would be attached to the beautiful wrapping paper signed "With all my love..."Well! Unless I became engaged in the next 10 minutes of my life, that was not likely to happen!...
...Then again, maybe the problem is that we have an unrealistic view of marriage. Expectations can alter your view of reality. "
So, tell me...should I continue on and finish? Or is it dead weight until next year? Can a Valentines Article hold it's own during the other 364 days on the Calendar? Vote now. Let me know what you think!

Seanna I had the priviledge of reading the rest of your article. It is quite good, so you can put in a past tense form as the aftermath of the event:>) if you want.
Also, you will have to put a disclaimer clause in- that you have received...

over the years from Dad and I. Though we are not the same as a whirlwind courtship, we do love you with an everlasting love:>)
"... I guess the first step is to understand our unmarried years and recognize them for what they are. If we view singleness as a new sort of "death of ten-thousand screams", is it any surprise that we're in a hurry to get out of it?"
Bravo! Well said. Meesa thinks you should finish the article (regardless of the current date).
