XoXo THE "LOVE" in VALENTINES DAY XoXo

With so much sweet things to be thankful for....Valentines Day is a wonderful reminder that love is around me, always♥
 
The first in my "love-line of thankfulness":
 is my husband who sees my best side even when I don't: patience, honesty, trust & best of all....love♡♡♡
 
..the little loves are the small hands and feet that run around with unbounded energy..."Auntie CoCo"...that's ME; gives them the sugar loving to show just how much they sweeten my life...yes BIG cupcakes for my Sweetie Pies:)
 
To the moms, dads & friends of mine...No words are needed...with a soft touch, a big hug, a sweet card, the lending of a shoulder to cry on and ear to listen...I feel your love everyday; it surrounds my heart and fills my soul.
 
My other loves have warm wet noses...3 in all.. They see no wrong....a wag of their tails and their big brown eyes; melt my heart!
 
And last but, not least... I love, that I have a God in my life that looks out for me, guides me and gives me a gift of life lessons every day!
 
PS: I love that I was given the ability to create art ★ it is a way for me to express love...I create from the heart.
 
~~~Today and always; I have L♡ve!
