My Kind of Valentine

I have always thought it a little silly to be someone’s Valentine only 1 day out of the year.  I feel someone should “Valentine” me all 365 days of the year (could be why I’m not married now) and not just “remember” me 1 day out of the year.

In the park behind my apartment, there are several benches all around the 2 mile loop.  This is the only one which is something other than a sturdy, wooden bench.  On it is a plaque…..

It’s a bench set out to remember an individual and their dog.  What makes it even more special is this….

There is a crepe myrtle planted next to the bench.  And it’s decorated for Valentine’s Day.

This is the kind of Valentine I want to be to someone.  Everyday, in all kinds of weather, sturdy and offering a place of rest.

  5. I see Valentine's Day as a reminder for the rest of the year. I hope your day is filled with lots of love. Did you decorate the tree? What a great idea to share the love.

    Thanks for coming out to play today.

    Happy Valentine's Day

  8. Happy Valentines all year round..I came across an alternative name for this day: Friend Day! and in Guatemala: Secret Friend Day1 I see over at Jeanne's blog that she does these 'guerrila valentines' and just leaves them for people to find. Reminds a bit of Amelie..anyhow..here is a big Hug from me to thee and it is also said that Valentine has his feet in Spring..so may it come soon!
    Blessings.
