Despite one's position about Valentine's Day, it is clear the history of what we know as Love and Friendship Day, dates back to Ancient Rome. And while Valentine's Day is now known for kissing, Valentine's Day gifts, and hard-to-get dinner reservations, the origins of the holiday are far less romantic. Yet, how beautiful and super cool that resilient and relentless humans can aesthetically make lemonade from lemons. Looking at a half full glass of lemonade versus a half filled glass with lemons, is a great perspective to have. Collectively, we have beat the odds and have set aside one day for the "unbeatable" state called LOVE!
We know that "in honor of one or two early Christian martyrs named Saint Valentine, and, through, later folk traditions, has become a significant cultural, religious, and commercial celebration of romance and love in many regions of the world. Regions known and unknown observe this day in reds and pinks; and even some purple and elegant blacks.
Here in Second Life, many regions coordinated events for such a special day. One named is Love & Harmony Jazz Romantic, owned and operated by Mrs. Orchide Delmar.
Each year Love & Harmony attracts the most in-love guests and members of its VIP tiered Clubs this time of the year. Approximately sixty-five (65) SL residents celebrated with Love & Harmony Jazz Romantic, from sun-up to sundown. Some engaged in semi private dinners, which started on Saturday February 10th through Wednesday February 14th. As couples wine, dined, and danced, Cupid was shooting his arrows of love over Love & Harmony all day. Esteemed guests brought themselves and their sweethearts and others found love.
As on a daily basis and any events, Mrs. Orchid Delmar sets the atmosphere accordingly. This year she was not shy about demonstrating her passion for Valentine's Day. The ballroom was decorated in shades of red and pink; accentuated with gold trimmings. Her expressed image of two pink hearts was hard to miss and this captured guests' attention. Guests repeatedly acknowledged the displayed symbolism of love and harmony.
As Mrs. Delmar remained among guests, she thanked them for coming and reminded them of the true meaning of love. Her expressed words are best defined in the unknown authored Valentine's Day poem.

Five little hearts, all in a row. The first one said, "I love you so!" The second one said, "Will you be my Valentine?" The third one said, "I will, if you'll be mine!" The fourth one said, "I'll always be your friend!" The fifth one said, "I'll be friends until the very end!"
As we ponder these words, let us remember that love is shared everyday of our lives, and we see it in each other in different ways.
Thank you, Mrs. Delmar, for creating a place called Love & Harmony.
