We went out Monday because we don't want to be part of "the crowd."
Had a nice meal and saw the movie shorts up for Oscars. A very pleasant day. Hope you have one of those in store today.
We do the same thing, pixi, except for us, it's the day after Valentine's Day, which is our wedding anniversary. 38 years today - unbelievable!

Bopitextreme & aussie, it really was our 41st anniversary. Didn't do anything because I'm lad up with a broken right foot & can't put any weight on it until end of April. Not on computer often, as it's downstairs and I'm up...

Happy Anniversary aknan. Too bad you are laid up. You will be laid up for awhile. Hope healing comes fast and you aren't hurting to bad.

Happy Anniversary, Aknan. Hope your foot heals enough so you can get around a bit and that when it heals fully it is perfect again.

Thank you all for the good wishes. I have no pain and with the help of a knee scooter, I get around upstairs and with a walker, downstairs and out to appointments and such. So far, so good!
Where else could we find a collection of far-flung follks who are each other's Valentines, prayer group, support group, shoulder-to-cry-on ---- and friends?!

Count me in, fellow Valentines. Love, joy and a bit of silliness, too, to brighten your day.

I am so glad I decided the "chat" group on C4J! I don't know if we will ever meet and it doesn't matter! We have each others' backs with prayers, encouragement, and advice. We show the definition of friendship. God bless and Happy Valentine's Day to all!!

We will all meet one day nborchardt and I believe we will all recognize each other. What a great day that will be - woohoo!!! Hugs.
Happy Valentine's Day everyone especially those who do not have a valentine :)
Without Love
by Aussiesapphire
Without love, our world
Would be an empty place
No hands stretched out in friendship
Only frowns upon each face.
No happy sounds of laughter
To brighten up each day
No warmth of friendly people
Greeting us along the way.
No thoughtful things are done
Such as a note to tell a friend
That we are thinking of them
As along life's way we wend.
No joy in seeing flowers
Which you've tenderly sought to
grow
Or to see a beautiful butterfly
As through your day you go.
No children playing gaily
Laughing and enjoying life
Only a dark and dreary world
Full of sadness, trouble and strife.
Yes a joyless world we'd have
If there was no love to be found
Yet One came years ago
With love, His heart did abound.
Greater love no man can have
That He should give His life for
them
There was One Who did you know
He was born in Bethlehem.
He came to live among us
Knew each of us personally
He knew how He had to suffer
To give life to you and me.
Yes He knew how He'd have to
suffer
And still be spurned by some
What love that Jesus felt
To do this for everyone.
Yes, He came for all of us here
Won't you invite Him into your heart
He's waiting for each of you
His great love to impart.
I see tears well in His eye
As He watches from above
Yes, it would be an empty world
Without His wonderful love.
Lovely, aussie. Thank you. Today is our 38th wedding anniversary, but we're not going to dinner until tomorrow. Service will be better and the restaurant won't be as crowded, either!

Thanks Aussie, for those of us that are alone, it is so encouraging to see how much God loves us and keeps us. Lovely.

Awesome, aussie! And so true. Even we, who have no valentine, are so greatly loved we should never, ever feel alone and unloved - or, worse yet, unloveable!

Thank you aussie. It is comforting for those of us who are lonely to remember this always.

Thank you aknan, 1HATESIGNING1N, nlbuchanan and honeybeez, I appreciate your thoughts and encouragement. Hugs to all.

2 of my nephews bought me a red rose this week
Twas not my lips you kissed, but my soul.
