Thankful for real love in my life.

Valentine's Day just passed. Dreaded Monday is here right? Well Mondays are actually my weekend right now, therefore, I am thinking on how to spend it with my special guy. Planning stuff like this takes me back to simpler times when I was in elementary school and we would receive Valentine's from the whole class. Does anyone remember those times? You know, waiting for the moment when your crush would come by handing you your own "special" candy and/or card; and I mean "special" because let's face it, it was no more special than anyone else's, but somehow because you liked that kid, you made it in your mind to consider, and treasure the darn thing that much more. ^_^

Friendships as children were so innocent and pure. You knew who was good and who wasn't. You didn't have to pretend or be politically correct. One just stayed away from the bullies and the "pretty" girls who told us mean things.

To all those parents who took the time and spent the money to buy their kid's classmates candy and cards for holidays, THANK YOU. I remember the ice cream and candy and lots of food we all had those days. Silly times full of laughter.
Those were awesome times for a lot of us kids. Those memories will give kids something positive.
Maybe that's why they remain "good times" in my memories? All that sugar! Go figure.
Now I feel for my teachers, all of them really. 30 kids all hopped up on sugar, soda, ice cream, chips,and brownies! Good grief.

The day for love and friendships needs to be cherished because REAL friends are rare, and love, real LOVE is even harder to come by if at all. So when you find it, don't take it for granted. Friendships, as long as they are genuine and non destructive or selfish towards others are to be celebrated. So to all the wonderful friends, and loved ones I have had and still have in my life, thank you. To my Real love, thank you for being mine and choosing me to be yours.

Remember to cherish love. It's not just a word. It's what makes life worth it. Fendora
