Happy Valentine's Day

It is a wonderful day to celebrate
loving someone, isn't it?
You hear all the fairy tales about 
LOVE & ROMANCE.
and
SOME PEOPLE actually get to experience that
in their lives.
They marry their soul mate and go from the 
excitement of being a young married to the
contentment of holding hands in old age
as they walk the path of life.

Oh-that it were that simple.
When I saw this Vintage Valentine it made me think of all the
WOUNDED HEARTS 
out there.
There are many that will spend the holiday alone.
They are some that will NOT love the one they live with
or, worse, won't live with the one they love..
They are some whose hearts will ache for those they have lost.
There are some that will be forgotten or pushed aside.

Love is not all flowers and roses.
It is hard work and determination to
SEE IT THROUGH.
Sometimes 
LOVE IS A DECISION.
A weighing of the odds-
A belief that you are meant to be
where you are.

I wish love for each and every one of you...
and, if you don't have someone to tell you
I LOVE YOU
I am telling you here.

I LOVE YOU!
You are a special person, uniquely you,
perfectly imperfect in this imperfect world and
YOU ARE LOVED!

Happy, Happy Valentine's Day!


I'll be back to being my wicked self tomorrow!
-you know I will-

Got one more day with my sick little guy
so I will visit when/as I can!

  5. :) Pretty awesome you are recognizing the other side of Valentine's for some. Last night I decided to do something spontaneous so I'm hitting the market this morning to pick up a few boxes of chocolate and dropping them off with the my utilities payments. The girls at the phone company always look so depressed! Hopefully a bite of chocolate will perk them up. :) Happy Valentine's day Sweet Lady!! xo

  7. How sweet! We're not really big on Valentine's Day here, but that's mostly because I don't really need chocolate or flowers and I'm not fond of jewelry. My husband gets off pretty easy on romantic holidays. :-) And, I love you, too!

  21. This is different than all the Valentine posts that I have read, and I am loving it.

    Different is my middle name, so this post spoke to my heart.
    I am blessed to have someone in my life. Thank you for reminding
    me of this.

    Love you too, Diana.

  22. I've felt for years, that you can choose to be happy, or unhappy. I chose to be happy with the one I am with, it isn't perfect, but it is good. Love is one of those things that works, if you choose to work at it, most of the time

  25. Happy Valentine's Day Diana....I love those old valentine cards...so neat. I agree there....a lot of wounded hearts in this world. Maybe there would not be so much anger and hate if all those hearts had a little bit of love in them. But....."For God so loved the world that he gave his only son....." if we were the only one on this earth, he would have died for us alone. Now that is love.

  27. I hope you get spoiled later today. I'm sure you've done lots of loving up of your grandson these last few days. Hoping your Valentine's Day is as lovely as you are!

  28. Happy Valentine's Day! So thoughtful of you to remind us of the wounded hearts out there. I hate the thought of someone sad on Valentine's day. Everybody needs somebody to love!

  32. Sending love to you Di. Your a real special lady to me as well as all your sisters here..

    Your right. Some are wounded hearts. That is why the Lord died on the cross. So most times that is why marriages don't come alive or stay alive.

    Others spouses are with the Lord. Others are lonely as they are older. Allot of people are sad and lonely.

    So if everyone would send some one a phone call or get in touch somehow. I think Valentines Day or any day would be blessings. Not so sad. I had a lady last night phone me she is 92. She wanted to tell me kind things she thought of me. Wow! I was thrilled. She talked to me like she was 60. She never repeated her words or forgot what she was going to say the next sentence. She made my night. So you see things like that become so nice and such a surprise. All the way from B.C..What a darling. it was my friends Mother in-law and she said what. She phoned you? Awesome! She told me she is knitting socks for her sons in construction because it is cold. She did a blanket last year.. Now wow if one was as spry as her. What a bonus of life. She makes others smile at that age and reaches out by phone.

    I so like your Valentine. Sooooo nice.

  34. There are many sad people around but lots of happy ones too, is it the luck of the draw or a lot of hard work I'm never sure.

  40. What a beautiful written message. We all deserve love but every single one of us goes through a time in their lives when we don't have enough. I'll send a little prayer for those that don't feel loved today, too. Sweet hugs to you my friend and feel better soon to the little one! Happy Valentines day! xox

  42. There really is such a thing as a broken heart! No wonder that the song The lonely Hearts Club Band was so popular! I love the scripture where it says God sets the lonely in families. We are not meant to be alone! Thanks for the LOVE dear friend! Roxy xo

  50. This was really nice, Diana. I always feel that with all the holidays and hype on all the blogs, TV shows, etc., there are so many people who are hurting. I;m sure you made a lot of people feel loved with this!
