de Efteling, Nederlands
We are in de Efteling, Nederlands, following the whimsical adventure of the little elf in me who wants simply to stroll and play under the mushrooms on this snowy day.
Oh Mr Dragon, how are you?
what is that you say
Oh, you want a sunny day,
your roar I know, will make it so
if only I could roar like you
may I come in to play
I’m looking for a valentine
would you be mine?
I’ll close my eyes and make a wish
I wish, I wish, with all my might
that I’ll find my valentine
oh my , Mr. dragon has come to call
maybe you are my valentine
after all.
To all my wonderful friends who share this space with me
enjoy this hearts and flowers day
I am truly blessed in every way
When I see you’ve come to visit and stay
you give me joy and bring synchronicity
you really are MY valentine

Valentines and Winnie the Pooh
LOL, got you there, what have a pair of shoes got to do with Winnie the Pooh and Valentines…. smiles… I really don’t know but this is where I am this morning. Have more coffee, it might help. I was going through my mail when I came across this picture. I am so blessed to have friends that share… These shoes which I love btw, except I’d wear different laces, are featured in weddingonmania.com in an article on gorgeous …. wait for it…. vintage wedding shoes.
That set me drifting off on weddings, tulle, flowers, balloons, fanciful stuff, then I remembered Saturday is Valentines day and my mind went to thinking if I’d done all my valentines… ( you can see why I needed a day of quiet yesterday!)
I recalled a book put out by Scholastic, Disney’s Winnie the Pooh and Valentines, Too, by Liza Alexander illustrated by Carol C. Haantz. It is a wonderful little story that reminds us to not jump to conclusions without knowing all the facts, and that knowing only a little bit about something, worrying and fretting can cause a lot of anxiety and stress, that could be avoided, if we believe and trust in our own strengths and knowledge about ourselves.
In the Pooh story, Winnie couldn’t find his friend Christopher Robin, then he saw him sitting on his own busy writing something, looking over, he saw the letters W – I – N and felt rather pleased, but then his friend kept writing, and in the end it wasn’t his name at all. I won’t spoil the story for you, but it was near Valentines day, and Winnie felt sad thinking his friend had a new friend now, and….. well you know…. how thoughts run through different scenarios. Of course it all ends well, Valentines day came and Winnie got a card from Christopher addressed to him and he was very happy. He told Christopher, “But, we thought you found a new friend”… to which the reply was “oh, Pooh Bear, just because I care about someone else, it doesn’t mean I care any less for you.” =^_^=
Here is a Valentine for you dear reader.. get out your crayons and have some fun, or print it out for someone who will enjoy a few minutes of R & R with Pooh. Remember. I LOVE YOU….

A valentine
I passed a display of valentine cards today
“you make my heart sing and dance”
said a happy dog with a big smile on his face
“a valentine hug just for you”
a pretty blue bird chirped as it sang from a tree
The sentiments I saw today, were not like the ones of yesterday
when we wrote out a poem,
or picked carefully so that the card spoke what we couldn’t say
and of course, always we hoped there would be mail when we got home
Some for sure, were really corny
and some were just so darn mushy
but honey, you and I know,
that even though you said you didn’t care
if a valentine came your way or not
it meant a lot, when someone said they cared.
So guys and gals, you have plenty of time
to find a special card
that says, be my Valentine
Find one that is ” Eggzactly” right for that special friend or friends
and share a smile that will run for miles
saying simply, a heart/hug from me to you….
Love you, each and every one of you.
