This Week...Valentines and a New Year’s Celebration

 

This week has made me wonder why we left the warm Delray Beach weather!  And, the best is yet to come. (she said tongue in cheek)

 

 

Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love. Mother Teresa



Our highs Monday or Tuesday may be in the low 30’s. We’re not used to that!!! Our big concern is the nest we have with 4 beautiful bluebird eggs. (More on that in another post)

 

 

Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit. Khalil Gibran



OK...today is Saturday, so that means that time is running out for you to buy a gift. Leave now and forget about reading this!!!

 

Let my love like sunlight surround you and yet give you illumined freedom. Rabindranath Tagore

 

 

We are having a  (very) small family group over on Sunday for Mini-me’s Valentine’s Tea Party and to celebrate Chinese New Year. My great-nephew, Jake, and I were both born in the year of the Ox. Since it will be too cold to be outdoors, we will be masked. 

 

Today or tomorrow we will participate in the Great Backyard Bird Count. We have seen so many different birds this winter, and for the first time, we’ve had lots of robbins in our backyard. 



Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely, willingly and without expectation. We don't love to be loved; we love to love. Leo Buscaglia

 



If you don’t have any plans for the weekend...find something to celebrate!  It’s good for the heart and for your soul.



Have a weekend full of love!

Hi Kathy Streib - Mother Teresa has it right!  There is nothing more important than sharing a smile to start a relationship.  This is probably why I like to meet my clients as early as possible in a budding relationship.  On a side note, my husband tells me it will be 50 years on Valentine's Day that he asked me to go steady!  He has never forgotten a date.

I'll be celebrating Valentine's Day with my mom on a scheduled visit to her facility.  They just opened up visitation again, and it's hard to get appointments.

Debbie Holmes better to stay warm and safe!!!

Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD I hope to see a video of Finnegan in the snow. We are rescheduling tomorrow's festivities because we're concerned about icy roads. My brother is playing tonight (his band) and I hope he'll stay at his brother-in-law's house instead of driving in.
