Happy Valentine’s Day

February 14th was Valentine’s Day. I found this Anonymous prose while browsing the ‘net and am re-blogging it here. It seems most appropriate for the season. Remember to be kind to yourself for kindness starts at home before it can spread outward.

Happy Valentine’s everyone.

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn’t supposed to ever let you down probably will.

You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it gets harder every time.

You’ll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.

You’ll fight with your best friend.

You’ll blame a new love for things an old one did.

You’ll cry because time is passing too fast, and you’ll eventually lose someone you love.

So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you’ve never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you’ll never get back.

Don’t be afraid that your life will end; be afraid that it will never begin.

Life

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. [Maya Angelou]

Tomorrow isn’t promised us

This has been circulating for just about forever. It’s a really old chestnut but I have to admit it is one of my favourites. And maybe it still has something to say…

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, they serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are and who you want to become.

You never know who these people may be: your neighbor, child, long lost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger who, when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.

And sometimes things happen to you and at the time they seem painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential strength, will power, or heart.

Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul.

Without these small tests, whether they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved straight flat road to nowhere, safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.

The people you meet who affect your life and the successes and downfalls you experience create who you are, and even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the poignant and important ones.

If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart…

If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you would have never seen or felt without them.

Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you many never be able to experience it again…

Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen, let yourself fall in love, break free and set your sights high…

Hold your head up because you have every right too. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself…for if you don’t believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you either. You can make of your life anything you wish.

Create your own life and then go out and live in it! “Live Each Day As If It Were Your Last…Tomorrow is Not Promised”

Jewelry – Floating Brooches Japanese Kitsch Will You Wear One?

These very Kawaii or cute brooches are very unique and way out there. The Japanese have made a veritable art form out of fake food. Case in point, the components for these brooces were made in Japan. Little pots of curry sauce or gravy, plates of rice and shrimp, pork, asparagus and salmon pizza or platters of sweets are just some examples of these delightful creations.

They are called ‘floating’ because there is a part of the design that is set higher than the rest. For example the gravy boat of curry sauce is up above the plate and tipped as if pouring the sauce onto the food below. A serving of pizza is pulled up from the platter and ready to slide onto your plate.

My daughter got a few of the components from a friend of ours who lives in Japan and makes ‘floating rings’. I was busy crocheting shawls and neckwarmers and hunting for buttons which gave her the idea of making brooches.

Me, I can’t get enough of these. I think they are funny and these days, we all need a good laugh. They’ll never be ‘high’ fashion but they are setting a fashion trend.

You can get the brooches from TheDollsTeaRoom.etsy.com.
