A day that you will feel specially loved
Oh yes,
mine have all been different.
In the past there was candy, flowers,
a special piece of jewelery,
delicious meals at top of the line
restaurants, dances at the country club
and even a couple of trips.
Simple times at home
with handmade cards from
young children
Many still in my old scrapbooks
Returning from errands yesterday
on a cold day. Did not want to leave
Callie in utility room and knew it would
be a short trip, so I left her
outside with access to her pillow
on the screen porch.
Turning into the long gravel road
cold and misty rain
and there she was
sitting in the middle of the field
on the cold damp earth
waiting for me.
She spots me and takes off running
and practically leaping in the air.
Now when an animal or human
waits for you
lying on the cold damp ground
in the misty rain
that is love....
I am doing housework
neglected for almost 3 weeks
because of surgery.
At this moment in this small cottage
doing household chores.
I feel loved
This Valentine's
No need of flowers, cards, candy,
entertainment or special gifts.
The gift of peace in my heartt
and Miss Callie
is enough....

Yes, you certainly are. What a lovely Valentine's Day post.
Dear Tabor, thank you, your comments are always special.
Would be nice to have a box of candy. Will buy it for myself - the next time out :)
This is beautiful! I can't tell you how this post touched my heart on this day of hearts. It speaks to the peace and security of unconditional love. Thank you.
LR, yes she loves me. A little dog I rescued - they had to cut the chain off of her neck. Always pleases me to hear from you...
Ernestine, Happy Valentine's Day to you and Callie!
I grew up in a time when we didn't have anything special for Valentines Day except for the ones we got at school. So I don't expect anything special now.
It's such a wonderful thing to have a pet that loves you and expresses it this way. I had a cat, killed one year ago, that snuggled up under my chin. I miss that so much.
I'm glad you're feeling loved today.
Charlotte, I grew up the same way.
Married and not much then our business flourished and provided much for a few years before it ended. Probably should have put that in the sharing also :)
Sharon, thank you...
Yes, yes, those sweet dear animals can give so much love and company.

Enough and the most important!
Callie=Love.....Happy Valentine's Day my friend. (forgot to say it in my email)
Oh yes. Callie waiting on the cold damp ground, in misting rain, is enough. Enough to bring tears to my eyes.
This was a simple quiet day for me too.
Indeed our Valentine's day change. Sometimes I like change, sometimes, I don't.
This was a very fine post!
Thank you.
