Happy Valentine's Day!
Permalink  

((((((((((Family))))))),

Tomorrow is Valentines Day here in the states.  I just wanted to take a moment to wish you all a very Happy Valentines Day.  I love you all dearly and am incredibly greatful for your love, support, strength, encouragement and amazing humor!  I have learned many lessons from you.  I cheerish every moment I share with you. I couldn't be on this magnificant journey without you all. 

I know this day might be tough for some of you.  I will keep close in my prayers.  Remember too, that it is most important to practice "self-love".  Be good and kind to yourself.  Nobody else can take care of you better than you can.  We all deserve it.  Take a moment tomorrow or any day for that matter, and do something just for you, just because.  May we all practice that alot more.  Much love and blessings to you all and your families and your critters.  Remember calories don't count during a holiday week! hungry.gif  So go ahead and have that piece of extra dark chocolate.  After all, it's good for the heart.  The doctors say so! wink

Live strong,
Karilynn & Pipers Kitty heart.gif

((((Karilynn))))))

Thank you. Valentine's Day has always made me feel more alone and unloved than ever and so a really difficult day for me. I do not think that I ever received a Valentine Card in my whole marriage...and it made me real sad 'cos I loved that guy so much.

Your post made me stop and think about me and the fact that I am worthy of being loved. Indeed I am loved by the best - my God - and that helped me to readjust my negative thinking about this day.

Today I will celebrate the lover of my soul who is my one true love, my beloved and who gives me true unconditional love each and every day of my life without fail.

So thank you Karilynn for reminding me and prompting me to think again about this, the most precious of love in my life today.

HeartB

((((((((((((My Kari))))))))))))))))),

Our team cheerleader.  Thank you for caring so much about us all.  You are a breath of fresh air, always thinking of others. 

I just heard a new song today by Jewel about self-love.  It's so pretty and appropriate for today and tomorrow.

I hope you, your hunny and the cat wink.gifwink.gif have a great day.

Love ya and live strong my friend,
Maria

thank you for your loving greeting Karilyn. Its authentic and has some real meaning- that of self love. I sure do need to hear about that every day of my life!!

thank goodness its just a day and it too will pass. It does make me feel sad. Its kind of like what happens when I look at beauty magazines and they just end up making me feel really ugly and inadequate (talk about stinking thinking!!).

Its like: where am I going to put my energy and how am I going to spend my time? I feel that way about valentines day: nope, its not worth it to go there. I used to send people valentines and flowers. No more. Its just another day. I mean, look what happened to st. valentine!!!

I will buy myself some flowers, thanks for the reminder Karilynn. Hugs, J.

Thanks Karilynn and Piper Kitty. Love of yourself. I wake up on this day with Pepper and Woogie by my bed. I know that they love each other. And Spot crawls up on my chest and I feel loved.

In support,
Nancy
