Love is in the Air

 

Love is in the air,

breath it in, each and every day. 

Happy Valentine's Day.

Hugs & Kisses

Sending you warm hugs

and sweet thoughts.

Happy Valentine’s Day.

The Magic is You

You sigh, a song begins

You speak, and I hear violins

It's Magic

Well the stars desert the skies

and rush to nestle in your eyes

It's Magic

Without a golden wand

or mystic charms,

Fantastic things begin

when I'm in your arms.

When we walk hand in hand

the world becomes a wonderland

It's Magic

Well, how else can I explain

Those rainbows when there is no rain

It's Magic.....

Why do I tell myself 

These things that happen are all really true

When in my heart I know 

The Magic is my love for you.

 

Happy Valentine's Day to My Love.

You are the Magic in my life.

*lyrics to 'It's Magic' by Dinah Washington

White Valentine

 

In Japan, it is the women who give gifts of chocolates for Valentine's Day, generally to the men in their life although some gifts are presented to female friends. This is a symbol of love, courtesy or social obligation. Handmade chocolates are preferred by the man who receives the gift as it generally signifies that he is the girls 'one and only'. 

The gifts of chocolates are divided into three types; giri choco {obligatory chocolate}, honmei choco {chocolate for the 'one and only'}, and tomo choco {for a girls girlfriends}. 

It is likely that most women in Japan will present up to 30 boxes of chocolate on Valentine's Day. It is important that the woman includes her co-workers and men she comes in contact with on a regular basis. Can you imagine if you had a social circle with a broad range? 

Don't think for one minute that the men get off easily. One month later, on March 14th, the men who were fortunate enough to receive gifts of chocolate have the opportunity to return the love. White Day is the day that men generously give white boxes of chocolates to those who gifted them on Valentine's Day. And for an unknown reason the box of bon bons is supposed to be bigger than the one received. Ha......... White Day, I think I love you.

My Valentine

My Honey .............. I've always said that Richard has a barrel chest because he has such a big heart and needs extra room to hold all the love.
He loves me even when I'm cranky. I'm a night-owl and he's a morning person, so I'm cranky in the morning when he is happy....... and still he loves me.
He warms up my feet when I come to bed with popsickle toes. He looks at me like no one ever has before ...... not just with love, but with trust and admiration.


My Honey.... my Valentine, he makes every day special.


My heart waited a long time to be filled with such love ............... and he was worth the wait.

Happy Valentines Day
