Happy Valentine's Day.

It is not a holiday that is celebrated around here much.  Too many retail hours.  Too many broken hearts.  But I think, if they day reminds you to be thankful for love, it is a good thing.  Love yourself.  Love others.

I was well enough to work in my garden for a bit.  I am getting to plant flower and vegetable seeds, heavy on the flowers.  I love flowers and rarely get them given to me.  So I buy and grow my own.  Occasionally a blade edge gets tested on my rose bush and the flowers come inside.  They smell lovely. 

Today, I am thankful for love.  I bought myself a little tiny gold band that I have liked in a catalog since it was introduced many, many years ago.  To remember that I love and am loved.  Not that I need to remember. I am always thankful.
