"Things you might like to know about me..."


 
♥) I crave shades of white down filled furnishings at home.
♥) I need to be around those I love frequently....and often.
♥) I strive to stay positive.
♥) I don't always succeed.
♥) I have learned to create & savour everyday moments, you never know.
♥) I believe in the power of keeping a journal...of any kind.
♥) I Love my children & grandchildren more than words can speak or measurements can conclude.
♥) I still cling to the simple philosophy that one should wake each day with a smile, do your very best always, never hurt anyone purposely, be grateful, humble, and kind. End your day on a positive note, and never ever go to bed angry.

Thank ♥ you for reading....♥
Always,

10 Things I Learned this Weekend.....

1) Going to San Francisco alone with just my camera for the day was good for my SouL ! *wink*
2) Ice cold beer + pizza + interesting conversation = a good night ...always!
3) When one of your grown children gets their heart broken = you get your heart broken right along with them.. *big sigh*
4) If you don't make time for things you want to do, you never will.
5) Sometimes trying to capture the moment on camera can actually steal the moment. *sigh*
6) Bat sized moths are no joke! *really*
7) Singing & dancing to 80's music around the house when alone, is a blast! Try it... *happy dance*
8) I feel like surrounding myself with all new houseplants...spring is in the air....*sigh*
9) Sometimes it is perfectly acceptable to rock the grocery store in your slippers that looks like slip on Uggs...who is to know? *smiles*
10) Never ever underestimate the power of a Hug. No words are necessary *shhhh*

I would like everyone to write down 
what Valentines means to them, below. 
Try and be nice even if you are being negative...
Let's see what our friends have to say!

quotes..

February is here ♥ . A love quote taken from the TV series "In Plain Sight." (13bof14)

“When it comes to Love, I yearn for blind devotion. Unthinking. Unwavering.True and Real. Your Love is like a cause, a thing, a principle worthy of absolute loyalty. A truth self-medicating, a love un-abating. Something, anything to which we can reli
nquish all personal responsibility. Semper Fi. Till death do us part. In Nomine Patris. Let’s go, Mets. To the true believers, the lucky few, of thee I sing. Let our love last forever.”
~♥♥~~ Mary Shannon (actress) Voice Over

quotes..

February is here ♥ . a love quote from the movie,
"When Harry met Sally" (#13aof14)

I love that you get cold when it is 71 degrees out.
I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. 
I love that you get a little crinkle in your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts.
I love that after I spend day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes.
And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night.
And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.
~♥~♥~~ When Harry Met Sally

quotes..

February is here ♥ . A love quote by Shana Abe' (#11bof14)

"...I’m not the silly romantic you think.
I don’t want the heavens or the shooting stars.
I don’t want gemstones or gold. I have those things already.
I want…a steady hand. A kind soul. I want to fall asleep, and wake, knowing my heart is safe. I want to love, and be loved."

quotes..

February is here ♥ . A love poem by E.E. Cummings (#10of14)
(and my personal favorite)...i carry your heart with me...

i carry your heart ♥ with me (i carry it in my heart ♥)
i am never without it 
(anywhere i go you go, my dear, and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet)
i want no world
(for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life, which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart ♥........( i carry it in my heart ♥♥♥)

"Quotes..."

 February is here ♥ . A love quote

"quotes..."

February is here ♥ .
A Love Quote by Louis de Bernieres (#2bof14)

"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two."
~♥~ "Captain Corelli's Mandolin" ~♥ by Louis de Bernieres

A love quote by Oscar Wilde...enjoy (#2aof14)

" Men always want to be a woman's first love.
Women have a more subtle instinct. What they like is to be a man's last romance.."
~♥~♥~ Oscar Wilde

"Quotes..."

February is here ♥. A love quote by John Lennon...enjoy! (#1of14)

We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on by itself. You've got to keep watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture it.
~♥~♥~♥ John Lennon
