Happy Valentines Day

I'm looking outside at snow falling and wind blowing and praying that we can keep the driveway clear for our Valentine Dinner party.
Not that Valentines Day is anything special in the BIG picture. I think people should tell people they are loved ALL the time, not just on a special day. But having a special day allows us an excuse LOL
I've done some crazy things for Valentines Day. I tend to buy up Valentines after the day (they are very cheap), you know , the kiddie kind. People look at me like I'm nuts.
However, you will never have so much fun until you start handing out Valentines to strangers..Not just anyone...look at faces, find people that look lonely or sad or even angry. Older people are the most fun (they can't run away from you so fast). I hand them a Valentine on which I've written "Someone thinks you are pretty special"...I never invade their space, never seem threatening...just hand it to them and walk away. The looks I get are priceless.
The person usually always seeks me out either to say thank you, or to bless me, or to tell me how special I made them feel. I've never had anyone show angry or displeasure.
For several years, I visited Nursing Homes and handed out Valentines...OMG!! Talk about reactions and what beautiful stories I was told mostly about love lost. I often thought about writing a book...It's on my list of things to do LOL That list is so long right now I have decided if I don't live until at least 130, I'm in BIG trouble. Talk about incentive LOL
This year , as some of you know, I adopted soldiers for Christmas...but I did so in the names of groups or friends (seemed like more fun that way and it justified my failure to send out a lot of cards) in doing that I managed to find out that we have some guys there who never get mail from home. They mail this year...yup...Valentines..lots of Valentines...telling them how special they are, thanking them for the job they do and wishing them a safe journey home.
You may have missed Valentines Day as a day to do something special for someone...but there is always St. Paddy's Day, Easter ? Seems to me any day is special if you make it that way.
Happy Valentines day to all who come here for a visit...Bless you all.

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.'......
