Happy Valentine's Day

Well, here it is, Gentle Readers, Valentine's Day, and my yearly tradition of sending things to my children and grandchildren, and having cards and candy for Marilyn and Dave, has been broken.  I knew on some level that it was coming, but couldn't overcome the entropy of recovery to do anything about it.  And now, today, I am sad to miss the opportunity to say "I love you" to my sweet family in a special way.  And I can't even get on Dayspring.com to send e-cards because their site is overwhelmed by last-minute Valentines like me.  Bummer!

So, in lieu of actually being a thoughtful daughter, daughter-in-law, sister, wife, mother, or grandmother, and since it is "Wednesday without words" day anyway, let me share a few pictures of my sweetest, most beloved people.  Wishing you all the love of Jesus today!

Now be easy on yourself, dear friend. You wouldn't bear the least grudge against all those people you mention if they didn't "remember" you on this day, would you? You would think of all the things going on in their lives that kept them from what you know they'd want to say or give. So be at least as forgiving of yourself!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I hope Cindy is right - since I've been so wrapped up in my own stuff this past week or so I missed this day altogether. Of course, you still know I love you, right?! Thanks for sharing the photos, and for including the one with your sisters!
