352 Marbles
A lovers' festival – not great timing two weeks after a breakup, but it doesn’t mean that I don’t have love all around me. I make heart-shaped waffles for breakfast and treats for my kids to take to school (actually I cheat and buy the brownies and decorate them with icing and hearts). I’m making a special dinner of all the kids' favorites to let them know how much they matter to me.
My youngest son and his two friends took some free time at school today and wrote love poems that their teacher shared with me. My son’s goes:
hearts bloom in the rain. I mite put min in a frame
love is strong it can lift a truck makes you brave
sometimes love can make you look like a compleyt idiot
when your in love you feel out of balens
love is like a rainbowe over your head
love is a great feeling [sic]
His amazing poem inspired me to write a mnemonic poem about all the things I love about myself:
Lovely, intelligent,survivor,athletic
Tenacious, heart-filled,energetic, resourceful, effectual, soulful, enigmatic
Optimistic, loyal, intrepid, vibrant, infectious (in a good way), effervescent, rapturous
(Geez, I have a lot of "E's" in my name)
Song of the day: Love is All Around - Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
I realize that not everyone will read this on Valentine’s Day, but every day should be devoted to love so take some time to appreciate love, even if it’s just the lick from a puppy. Write yourself a mnemonic poem about all the great things about the love of your life - YOU. This is about appreciating yourself.
Love yourself.
Love others.
