Celebrations on a Valentine's Day

 February 14th, many people exchange cards, candy, gifts or flowers with their special “valentine.” The day of romance we call Valentine's Day is named for a Christian martyr and dates back to the 5th century, but has origins in the Roman holiday Lupercalia.

Mirror Mirror on the wall...

"Mirror Mirror on the wall."
"What do my eyes say after all?"

Eyes?
Seriously!

Eyes say it all.

The sorrow
The glee
The sadness
The anger
The longing
The desperation
The satisfaction

“The soul, fortunately, has an interpreter - often an unconscious but still a faithful interpreter - in the eye.” 
― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

Eye movements are so closely tied to the way we think and act

Wordless Wednesday #117

When Super Bowl came to our Town!
I hopped and skipped to greet it before the D-Day!

Each seat was shining like Gold

Nah! not cause of the clear skies and temperatures in the 70's but since each chair was priced in FOUR digits.

Mantra for today: Draw boundaries when somethings are beyond your reach!

Shhh...A Secret!

Nobody knew it!
Not until I gave it out!

This was a secret I told my friends ~20 years back, and while it was with me; it squeezed the pulp out of me.

Seriously!

It was so bad that I could hardly sleep since I would enjoy the "checking out" but giggle over it, ALONE!

Today the sky spoke my "mind."

At times I was blank. Sometimes I had a cluster of thoughts while there were moments when there was just one thought that expanded like a flowchart and confused me further!
