february ...

is a month of celebrations.

of love
of birthdays
of anniversarys...

this month has had me thinking a lot about love…how i  receive it, and how i  give it.  it has me looking into the future and wondering if i will look back and see a life laced with it. will i have been stingy? will i have received it with open arms? will i have given it to the ones who need it most? will i have been patient enough to love through the hardships that life offers?   have i surrounded my life with love and poured love into needy hearts?
if i could pick one thing that i hope i leave this earth with - it will be that people see me as someone who cared about the people i loved.  it won't matter how right i was,  or how successful i was, or how
smart i was,   but ... it will matter how often  i took  some time to make someone feel special and loved even if just for a moment. 
some of my favorite memories are wrapped up in february. 

love sent, xoxo
