Love is

Well, it has been a couple of days so I am already not doing well on updating every day. It has been and emotional few days for me. I watched history being made with a light and cheerful heart, and I tried not to watch all day today again as news happened.

I realize that February will be here before we know it. I know this as it is my birth month, and each new year it slams toward me like a freight train speeding down a hill. Gone are the days of youth when I would wait impatiently for the day to get here. Now I am trying to savor every moment of my life it goes way too fast.

The point is that I have to think about valentines day soon, like this week. I am terrible at gift giving. I either buy something early and want to give it straight away because I am excited at the 'perfect' gift, or I blather over what to get that is 'perfect' that I leave it until the last minute. Often times I will make something for my husband for the lesser holidays.
This is what I made him a couple years ago.

I suppose I have to think of something this year. Since he reads this I guess I will not share until AFTER the day!
