Happy Valentine's Day

Every year on Valentines Day 
I try and do something special for others, 
I try to give love to someone who might not otherwise be told they are loved.
Today, 
I handed out Valentines to people I didn't know, 
I mailed them to six people I met on-line around the world, 
I gave them to homeless kids out on the streets in Port Townsend,  
and to elders I've met around my community. 
Tomorrow,  
As I sit in the hospital all day receiving my chemo therapy, 
I'll be handing out Valentines to everyone who comes in to get their treatment;
Hoping to make their day a little bit better,
or to put a smile on their face,
maybe fill their heart with love.
 Today 
I opened my eyes to the love all around me....
I didn't expect or receive cards, 
flowers 
candies 
or other luxuries, 
but what I did receive 
was a heartfelt appreciation, 
compassion, 
hugs, 
and love
from those who's heart I touched.
 I hope I've touched your heart, 
I hope your Valentine's Day has been filled with love.  
Mine has.... 
Love and hugs to you my creative friend!
