Happy Valentine’s Day, kittens & dawgs!
What exciting stuff do you have planned? I made some heart-shaped chocolate petit fours for DH and if you dropped by last week then you saw the special V-Day card I made for him, as well as our kiddos. I didn’t forget you. I doodled this ribbon heart design with friends in a rainbow of colors (actually it is the colors of a rainbow) especially for all of you to show how special you are to me.
Today, I thought it would be fun to revisit two older posts I wrote in my early years of blogging. Valentine’s Day is the “love holiday”, but you know what to truly love someone else, you must love yourself first. I encourage you to read 7 Ways to Love Yourself. Valentine’s Day celebrates a couple’s intimacy but shouldn’t we celebrate this all year? Check out 12 Way to Celebrate Your Love!
Les from Ink Interrupted hosts the weekly meme, Tuesday Coffee Chat and her coffee chat topic this morning is on cue for this special occasion. The prompt is LOVE. What or Who are you lovin’ lately?
It’s hard to imagine loving DH any more than I do but I find that I grow more and more in love with him each day of every year. I’m not sure how that’s possible and yet it is. We are more than husband and wife, we are best friends! There is nothing he or I would rather do than to do it with each other. I help him change the oil in the car and he helps me fold the laundry, We like getting up early to take long day trips to the mountains, photograph scenic views or beautiful sunsets, I fix his boo-boos and he fixes mine, we are junk food junkies who love ice cream, chocolate, and donuts, we like to cuddle in the living room watching romantic comedies, action flicks, or edge of your seat thrillers, he shares interesting articles, headlines, and how-tos while I enlighten him with my photo-art, doodles, blogging interests, or delicious recipes.
We’re different in many ways and so alike in others. He’s quick-witted – I’m slow on the take. He’s intelligent – I’m trying to catch up. He’s logical – I’m emotional (that’s not always a bad thing). He’s reserved – I’m an open book. He loves cookies – I love to bake cookies. He’s coördinated – I’m a klutz. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a purrtty amazing person *giggle* but it’s not my place to speak of these things. Instead, I’ll leave that to DH who’s always quick to share with others my favorable attributes. He’s just sweet like that. ?
Within our core, we share identical viewpoints – politically, spiritually, and ethically. He gives freely and cares deeply, placing me above himself all the time. It an honor to call myself his wife. The old saying Love is blind is true because love hides the small stuff not worthy of attention that otherwise could rear its head to cause problems and that’s the way love should work. We all have impurrfections and it’s nice when love is bigger than our flaws. Thank you, DH, for being my Valentine and the greatest LOVE of my life! ?
That’s a wrap for this morning. I’m hopping over to Stacy’s for Random Tuesday Thoughts and you’re welcome to join me if you want. I hope you’ll hop & link up tomorrow for Wordless Wednesday.
Last week, I was inspired by Clean and Scentsible and having the ingredients on hand decided to make my own version of her fun Valentine’s Day treat.
This is NOT an affiliated link. I used the Ann Clark’s 3 ⅝” heart shaped cookie cutter.
Did you catch my earlier post, Barry White on Tuesday Tunesation? If not, I invite you to check it out! 😉 I hope you’ll join me at midnight and link up with my mid-week photo meme not-so Wordless Wednesday.
Have a sweetheart of a day!
