Today is St. Valentine’s Day, and, though I’m not a huge fan of it because I think the confessions of love and admiration should be conveyed throughout the year instead of on one day a year, I greatly enjoy a good Valentine’s Day message, especially when it is geared toward one of my greatest loves: journalism.
I found the following Valentine’s Day notes, the kind we all traded with our fellow students as children in elementary school, at the journalism and technology blog, www.10000words.net.
So if you are a journalist or simply love one, check these out and share them. They can be found on two separate posts (post 1 and post 2).
Of course, there are several shown on 1000words.net, so I’m simply going to share a few of my favorites. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!
