Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day … which “bleh”… is not my favorite 😝 …
I show my love to those I love – all year long – pretty much daily … people who are in my life, are well aware how much they mean to me… I don’t need one day for that. And then, I don’t know… it’s just a heavy holiday to me – I don’t like it currently – which is a little on the humorous side, because I am very loving and all about love – I just don’t like Valentine’s Day?? Weird but whatever
I will get to have my family night with all my kids and that’s my special valentine ❤️ I have 3 of them 💗💗💗
And at school – we don’t celebrate any holidays – because we are respectful of those who don’t celebrate anything, such as Jehovah’s Witnesses etc… then also sensitive to other religions and you just never want any child to feel left out or sad because their families are poor and can’t afford to let them give things to their friends. So we just do NOT celebrate – makes it easier.
So I dunno… Valentine’s has definitely not been on my radar at all… I keep forgetting all about it.
But today… tons of kids came and gave me Valentine’s!! I didn’t expect anything so I was kinda blown away and touched by that!!!
One gave me a heart shaped box of chocolates ❤️… I got a bunch of heart shaped lollipops, I got a super cool pencil with those leads that if you break it – you pop that piece out and put it in the top and out comes a brand new lead piece (if you have ever had one, you will know what I am speaking about) it’s wicked cool!!! And then I got some really cool Valentine’s cookie pops? And hundreds of Valentine’s cards – the little kind they pass out to friends and then also homemade ones ❤️
I was kinda surprised – and they gave me hugs 🤗… I have the sweetest most compassionate kids ever ❤️
For a moment – that made me love Valentine’s Day … it’s just a hard holiday with my family gone and everything else. I have not processed enough for me to enjoy that holiday. It’s just hard
But those kids today ❤️ they just brighten my world everyday!! They are amazing!!!
And then we had some milks that were going to expire – they will just throw them out – they always ask me if I want to bring to all my friends … so I will take those and I go around to some of my elderly friends who have either had a spouse die or don’t have a lot… and I bring them the milks…
My elderly friends are always excited to have company for a moment (some are shut ins) so I stay and chat for a minute, make sure they doing ok, ask if they need anything and drop off some of the milks – which they are thrilled about lol
They always ask me how I am, is everything ok? I told them today about my new job and then oh boy were they curious!! They wanted to know if was creepy, and then were asking me all kinds of questions like cost of a funeral, cremation vs burial etc … I felt a little weird with that but whatever – I don’t want them ever dying lol (I know it’s life – it’s gonna happen – I just don’t wanna think about it with them) they were just curious.
Anyway… they are all doing good and shared stories with me about stuff going on with them. They don’t get out a lot, some don’t have family, and some just severely keep to themselves (except with me) Like I said, they enjoy the company and free stuff lol – plus if they need help with anything and I can help them – I do. Is good to check on them from time to time. They need that.
So anyway, was a really nice day! ❤️
Plus … I think spring is here – please let spring be here!!! I want spring – is like spring today – it better not be a tease!!!
It’s beautiful outside today!!!! The sun ☀️ is shining brightly… it’s really warm out!! Just right temp!!
Can it just stay like this?? I like this!!! ALOT!!! Everything is blooming and you can smell spring… so winter better not show back up!!! I’m already over it! I was over it 2 months ago lol 😄✌️
So yeah – pretty awesome day today! ❤️ still not a fan of Valentine’s – but I suppose in some areas – it’s not THAT bad and can be very heart warming. So I will go with that. Today my Valentine’s did not suck! (Tmrw won’t suck either because I will be with all my actual kids – the ones I gave birth to lol)
Also really enjoyed seeing my elderly friends today… I try to visit every 2 weeks if I can. Love those visits.
And such a beautiful gorgeous day ❤️ a day that reminds you how amazing it is to be alive ❤️
At peace today ❤️✌️ hope your day is amazing too
