2016 flowers from the viking

Good Morning Kittens!

Today is the day before Valentine's Day.

I grew up with it being a big thing.

My blessed mom made all holidays BIG but

so did our school, neighborhood and town.

It fuled the love for this day in me.

Until, well.... boys.

Then I grew to hate it.

Funny how hormones & lies can ruin a

perfectly good holiday for

some.

Anyway... what healed me of this

upmost loathing was becoming a mom.

I was able to experience it new, as if

those bad times had never happened.

Love comes in all shapes & sizes.

But as far as I am concerned,

any holiday that celebrates love

is okay with me.

The world can be quite hurtful & sad making.

But as I said, there are so many kinds of love to be had...

For one's children.

I miss my children awfully. If I could have had them all live on our property as one little village I would have. But they are tough like the viking. They have found their lives out in the world.... and I would not have it any other way. I rarely tell them this.... I am afraid they won't grow as they should. So I do hope they move closer when the grandchildren start coming.

For our pets.

My goodness do I miss him. My heart hurts even looking at this. But I just shower his brothers with endless love. He was the sweetest dog.

For our family & friends....

My oldest daughter & her husband in CA.... her wedding last year.

The girls & their boys...

For those friends who keep us alive with health & laughs.

and for those who may only briefly touch

our lives, but whom make a huge impression, those I meet in my charity work or through a show I have performed in.... { who are like my children...yep, all of them! }
