Happy Valentines Day - The official day of love. I almost forgot until I read a headline. We don't 'celebrate' valentines day, love should be appreciated daily (not one day of the week) & love for yourself & God above all. Today, I am where I love to be - in my tiny studio, doing what I love to do -paint! Surrounded by love, furry, feathered (and a couple of humans) all remind me I'm loved. Anytime any one shows you they are thinking of you - there are many ways... see it as a sign of love.
I'm enjoying this painting, as anticipated, I'm also reconsidering naming Smokey' to Picasso - for a few reasons, his tiny blue paw prints all over my desk and he likes to sit and stare at and watch me paint. All seem interested in this painting -or is just the subject matter that I keep dropping on the floor, everyone loves cheezies! I give the girls a taste but not too many - especially not Ginger, I don't want her ending up like the kitty in the painting, me either.
There are countless ways to display your love -that don't involve stuff'. The last time I bought flowers for someone -for $100., I was disappointed and said 'no more'. A crappy bouquet not worth $40 (pre covid) that didn't last more than a few days- lesson learned. I'd rather give a plant - the gift that keeps on living. Chocolates are o.k. but with all the amazing tricks & tasty treats on TicToc & Instagram videos, give them a try - easy, fast & tasty recipes that no doubts a loved one would appreciate. Valentines day should not be about how much you spend - unless it's spending quality time.
I hope you enjoy the day - if you don't have a valentine, what better day to celebrate self love!
Enjoy your day, treat yourself well, do what you love. Love will come when you are ready to receive it & give it.
