all you need is love

Go take a look at Irene Nam's beautiful post, here. It's a short one -- go ahead, I'll wait.

Isn't it beautiful?

After I saw the post, I noticed that Irene was online, so I started chatting with her. Long story short, we've decided that we're going to proclaim today Love Thursday. Here's how it works:

1. For those of you who have blogs, post a photograph today on your blogs that shows love -- it can be of you and your partner, you and your children, you and your pets, you loving life, your kids playing with your pets, strangers in the arrivals lounge at Heathrow airport, whatever.

2. Once you've posted it, come back here (or go to Irene's), and leave the permalink to your post in the comments, as evidence that love is, indeed, all around us.

3. For those of you who don't have blogs, don't feel left out -- you can leave a description of a time you witnessed love in the comments as well. Who says a picture has to be made with a photograph?

Okay, ready? Here's my submission, taken in the departure lounge at Piarco Airport, in Trinidad. The quality of the shot is pretty awful, but I think it gets the point across:

Happy Love Thursday, everyone. I can't wait to see what you share.

I recently updated/reprinted a post on love that I originally did for Mommybloggers - it was about my grandmother. Here's the link:
