once upon a time there was a girl who believed that true love was only meant for two. until she learned to love herself and found love, pure and real, was meant for anyone, even her. then she found a boy (he says he found her) who gave her the key to his heart, and she him, (in the form of an antique gold heart charm bracelet, with a real working key! that she hardly ever takes off). and they found that love gets celebrated every day, in big and little ways, not just on one february day, although that's fun too.
love yourself, love someone, love like crazy.
love to you my friends.

Oh my Lori,

Yes, you shall love yourself, and then you are free to love others, and if you open your heart (with a key like yours) to let others in, there is no end to it! And to have found a loving man is the best thing that can happy to you!
I am happy to be your friend, too.
Happy Love Day dear friend.
ReplyDeleteMissed your sweet happy soul. Missed it a lot.
And.... I have 3 letters on their way to you, God willing. I finally realised they can't look as pretty as yours, so they are simple but spell my heart.
P.S. I adore lockets, few people get how special they are.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Everytime you had an entry I am truly amazed at how much love you have in you. How you look at life and all that and feel love. Me? I'm still trying to find what is there in me that I love...not feeling so good today. Sorry to spoil the love week mood
