Valentine's Day Date

Here is an idea :) Instead of going out to a fancy restaurant for Valentine's, why not Make a romantic dinner at home together. If you both love to cook and experiment, try something new. Even if it doesn’t turn out you’ll have fun with the prep work. Put on a nice tablecloth, candles, and fire up some romantic music to round out the night.

Goodluck :) <3

Twenty Valentines by Marion Mallette Thornton

"Oh," said Millicent, watching the postman's blue coat up the street. "I wish he would come here day after tomorrow and bring me twenty valentines!"

"Will he, Mitty?" Jimmy-Boy asked eagerly.

Millicent shook her head. "'Course not, Jimmy-Boy. I know only six little girls; I couldn't get but six."

Aunt Sara was listening. She was Millicent's very prettiest auntie from the city, and she nearly always found a way to help.

"How would you like to send twenty valentines?" she asked.

Millicent laughed. "Why, auntie, I couldn't send but six, either. I don't know any more girls. Besides, I haven't any more valentines."

"Suppose I should show you how to make twenty valentines, and find twenty little girls to send them to; would you like, to do it?"

Millicent came running from the window with Jimmy-Boy close behind her.

"I'd love to, auntie! Please show me right away."

"Love to, auntie, right away," echoed Jimmy-Boy.

"You can help," Aunt Sara promised. "You can bring the mucilage while Millicent gets the scissors."

When they came back with these, Aunt Sara had a pile of gay pictures on the table, and some sheets of thick white paper.

"We will cut this into hearts," she said, "and you can cut out these birds and flowers and paste them on. Let's see which can make the neatest and prettiest ones."

Jimmy-Boy had to be helped a little in cutting out pictures, but he had learned to paste neatly at kindergarten, and his valentines were so pretty it was hard for Aunt Sara to choose between his and Millicent's.

It was such fun making them that Millicent almost forgot about the twenty little girls they were to go to.

"Who are they, auntie?" she asked when she remembered. "Where do they live?"

"Away down in the city," Aunt Sara explained. "Each one in a little white bed in a Children's Hospital. I don't know their names, but I'll send them to the superintendent, and they will get them safely on Valentine's Day. You can't think how happy they will be."

"Oh, I just like to try to think!" cried Millicent. "I'm glad we made them so nice."

The twenty valentines went off in their white envelopes the next morning.

On Valentine's Day the postman brought Milly six from the six little girls and two from Jimmy-Boy and Aunt Sara. They were lovely, and there were some for Jimmy-Boy, but they did not please the children nearly as much as a letter that came a week later.

It was from the hospital superintendent and said: "I wish you could have seen my dear little sick girls smile when they saw their pretty valentines. They looked at them all day and slept with them under their pillows at night. One tiny girl kept hers in her hand. They all send a big ‘Thank you’ to Millicent and Jimmy-Boy."

"Next year we'll begin sooner and make forty," Millicent decided; "it's lots more fun than getting them, isn't it, Jimmy-Boy?"

True and Heroic Love Right There

Here is an inspiring story of one Chris Medina, who auditioned for American Idol last week. Now everyone carries their own share of stories to impart with the world but not all are as compelling and heart warming as Chris's. Two months before his wedding with his girlfriend for eight years, Juliana, Chris's fiancée suffered a traumatic accident which caused her to have coma. He never left her.

Chris tried out for the Milwaukee auditions singing Breakeven by The Script. He sings good because he sings to you, is what judge Steven Tyler said to Juliana after Chris brought her to the audition room. He got three Yeses and made it to Hollywood. 

Questions are circulating of whether he would've made it without the sympathy he got because of his fiancées case. I daresay he did well on singing his piece but win or not, he made an impact to the world which will forever be remembered as a love true enough to bring one to Hollywood.  

Spare Me A Minute by Meena Krish

Spare me a minute you will know
how strong and true my love does grow
thoughts of you wrap my mind and burns
you are the one who makes me yearn

Look how you set my nights aglow
spare me a minute you will know
my passion will not cease its fire
for my words have you to admire

You are treasured deep in my heart
no storm can scatter us apart
spare me a minute you will know
that my feelings are not a show

You hold loves' key to set us free
open the door and come to me
wishes and dreams they wait to flow
spare me a minute you will know
