Happy Saturday

This is the Ahhhhhh Saturday.  My house is sparkly clean, and all the clutter is tucked away, put in its place, and its a beautiful sunny day!  so what does a Gal do on a day like this?   Sit in the sun, of course, and read a good story :)   Sadie is walked, emails answered.  And I'm enjoying a weekend marathon of American Pickers, as well. 

This was on the sidewalk when I walked Sadie this morning - it made me smile, hope it brings you a smile as well :) :) 

Love Yourself

February, the month of love.  And when it comes to love, we start at a young age, looking for that one love, the one person we can spend the rest of our lives getting to know, sharing every day life.  Some find that person, others think they have, and find out later they were wrong.   Even then, we're hopeful that the right someone will come along, and we will love again. 

I'm here to tell you that there's a person right in front of you to fall in love with -- yourself! If you don't appreciate and love yourself, who will?  We all need little reminders that our Self
is worth the time to give ourselves some lovin'. 
And February is a great month to do that in!

The word February brings up memories and images of cold, grey mornings, making the shortest onth seem the longest.  But afternoon sunshine and pink sunsets hold out promise.  Like matters of the heart, February is full of surprise, contradiction, and the spell of sensuous.

So here are a few suggestions and thoughts:  Cherish your romantic impulses.  Indulge in armchair adventures - through books or movies.  Try on fantasies.  Reconsider red:  bangles, lips, nails, even shoes!  Slip into silk.  Trade the treadmill for the tango.  Curl your hair. 
Chocolate becomes you, so show off your curves!

Remember, flirting is good for the soul.

Make peace with your past.

Lose your heart to Life!
