Ever have someone (or some thing) insist on loving you, no matter what? Well, here I sit at my computer trying to print something and my furball, Carmel, insists on crawling up on my lap, which I normally welcome however, it's hard to type!
I have tried encouraging him to crawl on the back of the chair but he goes limp, right into my lap, then he lays right down across my lap. So, here I sit, trying to work around him. Then I chuckle!
I looked at the calendar, and sure enough, in a couple of days Valentines' day will be here. A call from my husband validated this when he said, "do you know what the date is...time is sure flying by!" That is a great comment, often not a welcomed one, but in the dead of winter it means spring is coming soon! (Even if Groundhog's day was a disappointing prediction!)
So, my heart opens at the reality that Valentines' day is around the corner. Who is your valentine or special person(s) in your life. Life is short. How will you express your love and appreciation. There are many ways, not just snail mail, not only flowers or candy but a visit, a kind gesture or phone call. It can be special in so many ways.
So, Carmel stayed on my lap, I have worked around him and I realize a warm coat on my lap warms the cockles of my heart, too. In a few days, though, I will be spending some special time with someone I love and appreciate...my Valentine! What about you?Happy Valentines' to you and yours, too!
