It's Valentine's weekend. Even though the date falls in the middle of the week. Typically these things get their unofficial celebration the Saturday beforehand. I'm quickly reminded of these. Our family didn't do a lot for this holiday growing up; well, Mom did decorate OF COURSE! 😂 And technically overly so...however, we didn't recognize it in any other fashion than receiving these at our place at the dining room table. I believe there'd be a card there as well. 😊
Maybe it's because the school system wasn't too involved...as young, elementary school age children, we'd take part in the typical decorate-the-brown/white-bags exchange, otherwise, it was a day for pink, red, & whatever other sorta color might be in the closet to represent the occasion.
A feel-good song that comes to mind to describe the quick, snapshot take of it is this. Although, in an it-is-what-it-is sorta way, this speaks to the directive within our family's mood.
Another artist, who when I hear her song with the lyric recalling a wrecking ball, I consider a whole other artist 😎; however, she sings about kaleidoscopes too, here. 💕 Which makes her singing seem lovely & her work full of the loving embrace that seems to come around these pink & red (& sometimes black) attired days.
And then, as we adore each other's soft pinks & reds we can reminisce about the special saints, their beheading, & the other, much less recognized saints of this upcoming, right-smack-in-the-middle-of-February, day.
