Sweethearts

My Granddaughters

When you get to a certain age, the word sweetheart takes on a whole new meaning.  Don’t get me wrong, my husband of 40 years is still #1 in my book. Always has been, always will be. But when I think of the word sweetheart, it’s these faces that come to mind.

We gathered together last night to celebrate the February birthdays. My sister, my son, my daughter and granddaughter. Today, Valentine’s day is actually my sister’s birthday, so this days held special meaning long before the family grew and grew. Now my sweethearts number in the double digits.

But you know what? No matter how many sweethearts you have or don’t have (remember the I Hate Valentine’s Day party in the movie Valentine’s Day?) there’s always one sweetheart that will never leave your side – and that’s YOU. Always remember that above all, you must love yourself. “We have to learn to be our own best friends because we fall too easily into the trap of being our own worst enemies.”  ~Roderick Thorp.

So that’s it. I just wanted to share my sweethearts with you and perhaps make you smile today. Happy Valentines Day. Give yourself a big hug from me. xox
