Happy Valentine's Day

Hello All,

I hope each and everyone of you had a beautiful, love-filled Valentine's Day. It was a cozy, snowy day here and we started the day off with cards and chocolates. Yesterday, when I was in the card section at Target, I had a moment of profound gratitude for my husband. He is so lovely and loving to me, and sentimental, which I appreciate. I am a sap at heart and have never allowed myself to show that to any partner, and have never picked partners that would nurture that... Every romantic card I looked at made me smile. I love having a partner that gives me the freedom to shower him with love! And returns that! This morning he gave me a beautiful card and a red velvet heart box of chocolates. And you know what? I've always wanted a red velvet heart box of chocolates!!! Ever since I was a little girl...and I've never had one! So this was a very special treat for me.

Speaking of special treats...my ex-husband stopped over tonight to deliver some valentine presents for the kids. Harlan (my son) invited him in to see some Lego stuff) and my ex came in and stayed a while. This is a valentine's miracle that I am grateful for. I want my children to feel that their parents are welcome in their homes - anytime. So good for him for setting aside his differences and coming in for the kids. And then my ex (I'm just using "ex" not to use his first name - see what I mean about censoring myself??) gave Lili (my girl) a red velvet heart box of chocolates - and she was over the moon...awww. I love that both my little girls (Lili and I) got something so very special today.

BIG LOVE TO YOU!
XOXO
