A Happy Valentines Day

I am forever in awe of the depth of Richards feelings. He never fails to surprise me, yesterday was no exception. I really didn't expect anything, he had already bought me some new clothes and brought home roses on Friday. I have told him in the past not to buy me flowers because of the expense and the fact that it saddens me when they die. Last year he bought me a doz. roses at the grocery store and not only were they gorgeous, they lasted longer then any flowers I ever received plus they dried on the stem perfectly. So he did the same thing this year and these are even lovelier.
So imagine my surprise when along with breakfast came a little box. We all know great things come in little boxes He had gone back to the jeweler who made my Butterfly pendant and had earrings made to match. I was shocked and happily surprised. He said it was a combo V Day and BD gift but he couldn't wait any longer. LOL I guess after 45 years, I'll keep him.
Little does he realize, even though I tell him, he is my gift. He is my rock, my best friend.
He is the one who inspired the Butterfly Project when he gave me a Butterfly to symbolize my rebirth on the day of my surgery. He has supported me every step of the way, even though he admitted that he surgery scared him to death...But his faith in me was stronger then his fears and for that I will be eternally grateful. I could not have made this journey without his support and I could not continue without him walking beside me.
I know there are people who take this journey alone with very little support from family or friends. I am one of the lucky ones and it is the reason I try to be there to support those who need it. Everyone needs someone at sometime along the way. This is not an easy road and it helps to know that there is always a helping hand reaching out for support when needed.
I hope everyone got to spend this week-end with someone who loves them...Happy Valentines Day......

In Memory of a Great Lady

You can shed tears that she is gone,
or you can smile because she lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.
Tour heart can be empty because you can't see her,
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her only that she is gone.
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back
or you can do what she'd want;
smile, open your eyes , love and go on....

RAINBOW BRIDGE

There is a bridge connecting heaven and earthIt is called Rainbow Bridge because of its many colours
Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge there is a land of meadows,hills, valleys with lush green grass
When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this special placeThere is always food and water and warm spring weather
The old and frail are young againThose who are maimed are made whole again
They play all day with each otherThere is only one thing missing
They are not with their special person who loved them on EarthSo each day they run and play until the day comeswhen one suddenly stops playing and looks up !
The nose twitches ! The ears are up !The eyes are staring !And this one suddenly runs from the group !
You have been seen, and when you and your special friend meet,you take him or her into your arms and embraceyour face is kissed again and again,and you look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet
Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated

ONE Can Make a Difference

One song can spark a moment,One flower can wake the dream.One tree can start a forest,One bird can herald spring.One smile begins a friendship,One handclasp lifts a soul.One star can guide a ship at sea,One word can frame the goalOne vote can change a nation,One sunbeam lights a roomOne candle wipes out darkness,One laugh will conquer gloom.One step must start each journey.One word must start each prayer.One hope will raise our spirits,One touch can show you care.One voice can speak with wisdom,One heart can know what's true,One life can make a difference,You see, it's up to you!

My Tarot Card symbol

You are The Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.

What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

He was just a little boy, On a week's first day. Wandering home from Bible school, And dawdling on the way. He scuffed his shoes into the grass; He even found a caterpillar. He found a fluffy milkweed pod, And blew out all the 'filler.' A bird's nest in a tree overhead, So wisely placed up so high.. Was just another wonder, That caught his eager eye. A neighbor watched his zig zag course, And hailed him from the lawn; Asked him where he'd been that day And what was going on. 'I've been to Bible School ,' He said and turned a piece of sod. He picked up a wiggly worm replying, 'I've learned a lot about God.' 'M'm very fine way,' the neighbor said, 'for a boy to spend his time.' 'If you'll tell me where God is, I'll give you a brand new dime.' Quick as a flash the answer came! Nor were his accents faint. 'I'll give you a dollar, Mister,If you can tell me where God ain't.'......
