Valentine's Day Was

Sleeping in until 7:30 thanks to my loving husband

Chocolates and cards for four of my Valentines. They were very appreciative of the chocolate chart that came with the box so they could weed out any not so yummy chocolates

A heart shaped balloon and a pink little kitten for the first time Valentiner. He never had a balloon before and didn't know what to think of it. One of the heart shaped balloons flew over the fence, hope John doesn't get the wrong message.

Making special heart shaped pancakes for breakfast for my family

A dozen red tulips and a special song from my special admirer that melted my heart

Collecting all my precious hancrafted valentines the boys made me.

Nathan made me a pop up Valentine that popped up when I opened it. He is so creative.

Jason made me a Valentine that said- Do you have a lover?, and Marcus made one for me that said- Love Marcus, I love you P.S.

Boys can be sweeties.

Lunch was heart shaped sandwiches, yum.

We spent the rest of our day playing, reading, napping, and watching redbox movies.

Then after the boys went to bed I got a chance to snuggle with my husband and watch some HGTV.

Words to live by

We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are. After that we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage. We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire.
The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when? Your life will always be filled with challenges. It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway.
For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.
This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So, treasure every moment that you have. And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time...and remember that time waits for no one.
So stop waiting until you finish school, until you go back to school, until you lose ten pounds, until you gain ten pounds, until you have kids, until your kids leave the house, until you start work, until you retire, until you get married, until you get divorced, until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is paid off, until spring, until summer, until fall, until winter, until you are off welfare, until the first or fifteenth, until your song comes on, until you've had a drink, until you've sobered up, until you die, until you are born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy...

Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

Thought for the day: "Work like you don't need money, Love like you've never been hurt, And dance like no one's watching."
