As Valentine's Day draws nearer to us, it really becomes the absolute perfect time to think about what the word 'cherish' means. The meaning of cherish is something that can be used in a romantic sense as with a wedding or a great love but it can also be applied to friendships and also to objects as well as people.
Life is certainly something to be cherished and celebrated while we are here. And, if you strip away all the commercial aspects of occasions such as Valentine's Day, weddings and anniversaries, you'll discover that the real and true meaning is quite simply to treasure and hold dear the ones we love while we are able to. Hold on and enjoy what you have because true moments of love are golden.
