Valentine's Day Musings. . .

Valentine's Day is such an odd day. I have a sweet fondness for the childhood cards and sweet treats, but it also has a dark side. Our society puts such pressure on having a "mate". I have been making more collages that I thought I would send out to close friends. But then I start to second guess myself about who should receive a card on Valentine's?

My mom is the best at sending the right card at the right time. I received a very old fashioned card in the mail today from her.
"Your Valentine,
Your little net, as'round it darts
Among the fluttering, willing hearts,
Will catch one for you valentine,
I hope the heart you snare is mine."

As I get older my heart gives love to all and to none.

    I find Valentine's Day odd and am not a true Valentine's person. And yet when I receive one—always from dear friends, not lover-related—it warms my heart. They feel very . . . true. (and yet have I ever considered reconsidering and sending some? no.)

    Ah, your last line...
