Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet and so are
you. We all remember scrawling this, in some form or another, and folding a red
sheet of paper in half to make a heart; an incredible discovery when you make
your first one. Valentine’s Day remains ingrained in most of us as we’ve grown
up.
I’m one of those who think that the secret to surviving Valentine’s Day when you’re single isn’t about finding a significant other for this special day, but about remembering those who significantly affect you every day.
To catch the love bug, share the love with your
friends. As most children are aware, Valentines
are given to family members and friends.
Teachers are the recipients of the most home-made cards during classroom
construction paper activities.
For those who love to witness romance through a visual
medium, tonight TCM http://www.tcm.com/schedule/
will present Summertime directed by
David Lean, starring Katherine Hepburn and the Italian bello, Rozzano Brazzi.
Look at Brazzi’s European old-world sensibility and charm. I made reference to
it on my website http://www.lindalaroche.com/arts
articles.htm in a Bittersweet Musical with Carol Lawrence and Anthony Crivello who has gone on to be the Phantom in Phantom of the Opera playing in Las Vegas. The film is compelling
and reflects a woman searching for love, yet once found has a hard time
accepting it in a form that she is not familiar with culturally. My favorite
scene is where Hepburn seductively shops for a pair of red high heels for her
last date- “with him” an occurrence that so many women can identify with.
Whatever your activities are this day, share love- and let the
love begin with you!
