My Valentine Wishes for All You Dear Friends
My Valentine Wishes for All You Dear Friends
May You Always Feel Loved~
May you find serenity and tranquility
in a world you may not always
understand.
May the pain you have known
and the conflict you have experienced
give you the strength to walk through life
facing each new situation
with optimism and courage.
Always know that there are those
whose love and understanding will always
be there, even when you feel most alone.
May you discover enough goodness in others
to believe in a world of peace.
May a kind word, a reassuring touch,
a warm smile be yours every day of your life,
and may you give these gifts as well as receive them.
Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending.
Teach love to those who know hate, and let that love
embrace you as you go into the world.
May the teaching of those you admire
become part of you, so that you may
call upon them.
Remember, those whose lives you have touched
and who have touched yours are always a part of you,
even if the encounters were less than
you would have wished.
May you not become too concerned
with material matters, but instead place
immeasurable value on the goodness in your heart.
Find time in each day to see the beauty
and love in the world around you.
Realize that each person has limitless abilities,
but each of us is
different in our own way.
What you may feel you lack in one regard
may be more than compensated for
in another.
What you feel you lack in the present
may become one of your strengths in
the future.
May you see your future
as one filled with promise and possibility.
Learn to view everything
as a worthwhile experience.
May you find enough inner strength
to determine your own worth by yourself,
and not be dependent on another's judgments
of your accomplishments.
May you always feel loved.

I really do love each one of you, it is because you have walked with me for so long that my life is beautiful today.
Please know that you are worthy of love, and respect and that you deserve happiness in your life.
Again, Happy Valentines Day dear friends, may the gift of love come from our hearts and be shared with each other.
Thank you Ann for sharing that beautiful poem. I will keep it forever.
Happy Valentine's Day to you too!
Incidentally, I am so excited I love horses and Mr. Dev bought me two for Valentine's Day. What a guy! He sure knows how to treat a lady!
Oh, I'm sorry didn't mean to mislead you, they were saw horses. You know the ones you use when you're building things or cutting plasterboard. LOL
Oh well, beats a gift centered around the kitchen!
Hugs, Devastated
Happy Valentine's Day to you too!

Dev, you did it again, cracking me up.
I remember one Mother's Day I asked Mr. Ann for "something for the garden", thinking of flowers that would last all summer instead of a week. I had a pretty Niagara Rose in mind.
He bought me 5 bags of dirt. Now it wasn't your ordinary dirt, nope, it was special 3-dirt dirt, perfect for gardens it said.
Happy Valentines, Dev. Love means finding romance in saw horses and dirt.
Hugs

OMG, Ann, that was hysterical! I thought it was only Mr. Dev that did things like that! I'm still laughing at that one.
I remember our very first Xmas together. He came in with this huge box, heavy too! I couldn't imagine what it was. He was grinning from ear to ear because he was so pleased with himself.
When I opened it, and found a MEAT SLICER, I just about killed him. Especially me since I haven't cooked since the dog pee'd on my meatloaf! If I had my way I'd turn the kitchen into a walk-in closet!
