		<description><![CDATA[Happy Valentine&#8217;s Day! I heard something this morning on the radio about love that I thought worth passing on. The host was commenting about how people express their love on Valentine&#8217;s Day.

I even made some new commitments to doing things a little different.

		<description><![CDATA[When was the last time you handled yourself well in the face of contention or what might come across as combativeness?
