To my dear sweet blogging friends on this Valentine's day...a simple offering of love and beauty.
I hope that the day greets you with romance from the moment you arise...till the time you rest your head...
And that you remember today, to love yourself...I know that I forget to do this.
But today...I shall be kind to myself.
I will compliment myself...
And treat myself to good things...
And remember that I am unique...with gifts and talents that are all my own...
That I am deserving of love and affection...
And remind myself just how much I am loved.
I do hope that you will do the same.
Happy Valentine's Day sweet friends!
Till next time...
Definitely remember those things because they are true. You are just bursting with talent and have so many gifts. Many of which are shown through your photography, decorating and writing.
Have a wonderful Valnetines Day!

Happy Valentine's Day Alice!
Were those pretty pale pink roses a gift from someone oh so special?
I hope you and your husband enjoy the day!

Happy Valentines Day to you my friend, and to Renoir and Josh...what beautiful roses... I love all roses (and all flowers) but I do believe the pale pink ones are my very favorite of all... today I will follow your advice, and try to remember to love myself too, just the way I am... xoxo Julie Marie

Hi Alice,
I love this post. It is so beautiful yet simple.
Regarding the previous post that is also gorgeous...I am finding myself overwhelmed with all the *stuff* I have and am in the process of downsizing big time. Don't get me wrong, I still love my pretties, but a gal can only have so many. tee hee
Hugs~

Such a sweet post...and gorgeous photos.

Hi Alice! Those are great shots! This weather does start to get you crazy. We were also cooped up: four feet of snow within a week! Renoir would have needed a GPS locator to go outside! Even my Molly, a golden retriever, can't wade through this mess. We had to clear a "rest area" for her :) Springtime can't hide forever. Stay warm! Hugs, Terri

Sorry, Alice. I just realized I posted my last comment in the wrong spot! Your rose photographs are so dream-like. Beautiful photography!
Posted by: Terri Morse | February 17, 2010 at 09:06 PM
oh, what romantic rose pictures... I love them!
Greetings

I agree of your idea of success
I am on top of my world.
I am content and satisfied.
I want for nothing.
Everything is wonderful.
My secret is living small and appreciating the "little" things.
