All this month, I'm talking about communication in situations other than making speeches. Well, today is Valentine's Day and that is an area where speeches aren't appropriate. Real communication between couples and loved ones is vital to the health of the relationship. But how do we communicate that love? How does love speak? What does love say? Well, here are some things that do NOT show love: * Unloving actions and words * Ignoring * Watching TV while listing to someone * Deciding in two seconds that something or someone is not worth listening to and tuning out The giving of gifts and dinners out can be important tokens of appreciation, but are not what really communicates love.

I normally don't post on a Sunday, but since the technology exists to schedule my blog posts ahead of time through the magic of technology, I will this week and for one very important reason. It's Ronald Reagan's birthday and he would have been 100 years old today! Ronald Wilson Reagan (February 6th 1911-June 5th 2004) was the 40th President of the United States.
