XOXO

Valentine's Day.

A day of chocolate, flowers,

and ugly stuffed animals.

A day of dining out.

A day of huggin' and lovin'.

A day of cheestastic sappy stuff.

A day your kid brings home a bag

filled with candy attached to cartoon-covered

cards with barely readable names written upon them.

Some don't like this holiday.

It is called "Singles Awareness Day" by many.

There are those who have romantially challenged
significant others who struggle when it comes to gift-giving 
or remembering such a day exists.  *ahem.*

If you fit into one of these categories...

don't feel blue! 

I can't help it... that's the tint they used when filming!



Just remember this~

You don't need a man to receive flowers...

although it would be nice if the delivery boy looked like this:

The train scene from

"North & South" can warm any heart.

And as our RA buddy Phylly said in this recent post,
"There are so many kinds of love -- romantic love is only
a small part of the picture. (Although it gets all the attention.)
What about the love of a parent for a child, (and vice versa) or the
love of a friend, or the love of mankind? We all share those kinds
of love, even if we have never experienced romantic love."
Amen, sistah!

I feel very blessed to have
experienced the kinds of love Phylly mentioned.

And it's okay if my hubs struggles in the V-day department.

The best gifts he could give me are our 3 children.

Sticky kisses and big bear hugs every day!

Nat and Stick-Figure Richard wish you

lots of love in many of its forms. :)

Happy Valentine's Day!
