Have you hugged your valentine?

I hope that everyone had a great Valentine's Day. I hope that you told those closest to you that you love them. Do that every day, not just on Feb. 14th.

This year my family has had various medical challenges that brought home how fragile and precious life is. Tell those close to you that you love them. Hug them often.

It's a beautiful day here at the coast. I've seen several convertibles on the road today. Our typical rainy, dreary weather makes us treasure these days even more.

Take a few minutes to appreciate and be grateful for what you have in your life.
