Happy St. Valentine's Day Everyone :)

For me everyday is Valentine's Day. Every day is a new and special day, one to fill with the simplest pleasures and the most delicious memories :) Even though we are reminded that each moment is the only one like it that will ever exist. If you let it slip away it's gone forever :( But being immortal humans we tend to ignore those reminders. That is until you run smack dab into that particular "life's lesson" but by then think about all those moments that slipped by with no one celebrating them :(

Thankfully for what ever reason some of us are given a second chance to get it right!! I am so very grateful and a very lucky girl because I not only have been allowed a second chance but so has my Bestest Friend, my Soul Mate, my LW. So for us every day is a special day to share, experience and give to each other.

Never let a chance go by to say I care, I love you, I'm proud of you, Thank you for being in my life. Never let a chance to hug, hold hands, kiss, dance, giggle, laugh, cry, or just be be silent together slip away. Never never let the chance to make beautiful memories get away from you. Because the only piece of luggage any of us is allow to go through life with is our memories. The person who "wins" is not the one with the most "toys" It's the person with the fewest "I wish I hadas" :)

This is one of my most favorite gifts LW ever gave me. For me it's the only "operating manual" this girl need :)

Have a most audaciuos St. Valentine's Day or Evening in Bloglandia, depending on where in the world you are ;)

The Velveteen Rabbit

What is REAL?" asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room. "Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?"
"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."
"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.
"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."
"Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?"
"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."
