If you do nothing else today.... WATCH THIS.

"You see the thing of it is I always feel guilty when I say I love you to you - and I say it so often. I say it to remind you that as dumpy as I am, it's comin' from me. It's like hearing a beautiful song from a busted old radio and it's nice of you to keep the radio around the house." Danny

Your love story in six words.....

Have I shared with you my addiction to NPR? Seriously, the morning edition keeps me in my car just waiting to hear the end of the program. I grew up on NPR and The car guys so I guess that is where it all started. I hate watching the news on TV but I will listen to Talk of the Nation all Day.

NPR did this story on Six -word memoirs on love (and heartbreak). The challenge to all types of writers was to tell a love story in six words. Listen to the report here. (Make sure to read the comments!)

romantic: "He sees the me I don't"
devastating: "For the children, I remain his."
inspiring: "Married in 1981 still on honeymoon."

These were all inspired by Ernest Hemingway:"For Sale: baby shoes, never worn." (so sad!)

and this is mine.... "Everything I never knew I needed. "
What would yours be?
