Я не буду комментировать День Святого Валентина, потому что я посвятила его себе и любимым друзьям, и очень по этому поводу довольна, потому что это был всего лишь ещё один день в году, когда можно было сказать какие-то приятные вещи людям, которые тебе дороги. Например, так поступил один мой друг, который прислал мне фантастическое письмо, которым я хотела с вами поделиться. Оно прекрасно и заставило меня улыбнуться и несколько раз утвердительно покачать головой и вздохнуть. ) Прекрасной вам недели, много хороших людей рядом и гармонии с собой.

Dear Elena,
Hope you are all well... Today is Valentine's Day as well as Chinese New Year as well as Russian Forgiveness Day, and since the Tiger is finally here, I wished to share a few beautiful writings with you...
MAYBE we were supposed to meet the wrong people before meeting the right one so that, when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.
MAYBE it is true that we don't know what we have until we lose it, but it is also true that we don't know what we have been missing until it arrives.
MAYBE the brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; after all, you can't go on successfully in life until you let go of your past mistakes, failures and heartaches.
MAYBE you should hope for enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, and enough hope to make you happy.
MAYBE the happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
MAYBE the best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
MAYBE happiness waits for all those who cry, all those who hurt, all those who have searched, and all those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of all the people who have touched their lives.
MAYBE you should do something nice for someone every single day, even if it is simply to leave them alone.
MAYBE there are moments in life when you miss someone (a parent, a spouse, a friend, a child) so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real, so that once they are around you appreciate them more.
MAYBE giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart; but, if it doesn't, be content that it grew in yours.
MAYBE, you should dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go, be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you dream of, and want to do...
And MAYBE, life was more beautiful when Apples and Blackberrys' were only fruits...
