Google Valentines doodle
It's humbling for Google to confess that even with its super powerful search engine capable of finding any and all gifts, such things can't solve all our problems, especially when it comes to human emotions.
Another great moment comes at the tail end of the video. There's a montage of a bunch of happy couples together. There's a spaceman and an alien; a princess and a frog; a dog and cat; a bookish pair; a cookie and a carton of milk; and two men wearing tuxedoes and holding hands, which I took to imply that they're a gay couple getting married.
That Google would tip a hat to gay marriage shouldn't come as a surprise -- Google is a very vocal supporter of gay rights. But even if you didn't see what I saw, it's heartening to watch a Valentine's Day message about all different kinds of love … that isn't also soaked with consumerism.
What do you love?

the sun, red rock canyons, cloud formations, lightning storms, watching a chipmunk or rabbit scampering away with their tails up in the air, birds that sing, a good book to read with a dog or cat on my lap, a blazing fireplace on a cool night. oh, and a spouse that still looks at me like I'm that same 20 something he married!

Wow! Sweet & heartening to read your lists of love.
The first ripe tomato from my garden each year; picking blueberries at a nearby family grove; watching my cat do a major grooming wash-up; waking up to an overnight snowfall (when I can stay home); finding a good news headline at Common Dreams.org
