My Sweetheart is taking me on a 'surprise' trip in order to celebrate Valentine's Day. I have no idea where we are going but a little birdie told me that there would be some waterfalls involved. Now--we are both hoping for good weather (which looks very 'iffy' for us this weekend).
SO---since I don't know if we will have internet service, this will be my last post until Tuesday (the 16th). I wanted to share a couple of things for you today since this is a special weekend. First, here is a RECIPE just for you!!
LIFE'S RECIPE
1 cup of kind deeds
1 cup of forgiveness
1 cup of good thoughts
2 cups of sacrifice for others
2 cups of consideration for others
Mix above ingredients thoroughly and add tears of joy and sorrows and sympathy for others. Flavor with little shifts of love. Fold in four cups of HUGS and LOVE to lighten the ingredients, pouring all of this into your daily life. Bake well with human kindness. Serve with a SMILE.

WHAT IS A HUG?
by Yvonne Lowther
A hug is something special
A hug can give such joy
A hug can bring a little smile
To every girl and boy
A hug can say a thousand words
Without a single spoken one
A hug can put things right again
When everything seems wrong
A hug can be a lovely thing
It doesn't have to contain a touch
A hug can be on paper
The word 'hug' just means so much
So I'm sending YOU a special hug
Not physical, it's true
But this hug is sent to let you know
I think the world of you
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I hope all of you have a wonderful Valentine's Weekend...
Be sure to watch the OLYMPICS. The Opening Ceremony was fabulous!!!
Loads and Loads of Love and Hugs,
(ALL PHOTOS/GRAPHICS IN THIS POST CAME FROM THE INTERNET.)
Oh that is so beautiful Betsy;) I love hugs as you do. Have a WONDERFUL trip away. Bless you both. (((Hugs))) Jo

Hello Betsy,
ReplyDeleteYes, Thomas has been laid off with no promise of being called back. :0( He arrived home about an hour ago with his boat in tow. :0) Good grief, we can't believe all of the stuff he still had in that apartment..our side porch is full of bags.
Anyhow, it'll be great to have him home so we can really get some stuff done in the house...there's so many things yet to be finished due to me not being able to do it alone.
He's filing for social security and also for TN unemployment...we are hoping he will pick up some short term jobs along the way.
Life's a journey!!! It's snowing huge flakes right now...yesterday I bet I got 2 inches of snow..very pretty.
Have fun on your Valentine adventure and stay warm.
(((hugs)))
Stephanie
