life is a garden

To know someone with whom you can feel there is understanding in spite of distances or thoughts unexpressed... That can make this life a garden. --Goethe
Happy Valentine's Day am3, and Happy Valentine's Day to Mike. While I was out card shopping, I found this beautiful quote on a card, and couldn't resist getting it.
May you have a special someone in your life that can make you feel this way.
