I Heart Me

I've often tried to figure out a souvenir that I could get from places I go- a collectable per se. You know, something that every place has, no matter how remote or foreign. Some people collect things like shot glasses or spoons. I have yet to initiate this thought, but what about the "I HEART ____" shirts. That one came to me one day while I was walking the streets of Burlington, VT- their shirt says "I LOVERMONT" so clever! (I think the 'O' in love was even heartshaped.)

Thought it appropriate to bring up matters of the heart today seeing that it is VALENTINE'S DAY! Got a sweet card from my parents, and my dad signed it as he does every year, my valentine. Today I celebrate all the people in my life that I love. V-Day is not solely for romantic love!

A sometimes difficult lesson to learn, and one that I constantly have to remind myself of, is that in order to love another you first have to love yourself! So, today while you are all thinking about what to do for your loved one, don't forget to do something special for yourself too. Think my treat will be some yummy chocolate, seeing as it is the emblem of V-Day!

I guess it is good that I haven't started the shirt collection yet. If I heed my own advice, the first "I Heart" shirt I get should be, "I Heart Me"
