>> Valentine’s Day <<<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Walking by Inner Vision,<\/em> since December 2009<\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

__My Thoughts:\u00a0 Valentine’s Day<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

First, here are some facts from Hallmark:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n

According to Hallmark<\/a>, a whopping 145 million Valentine\u2019s Day cards are exchanged every February 14 (and that\u2019s not even including all those kids\u2019 valentines exchanged in classrooms!). This makes Valentine\u2019s Day the second biggest holiday for exchanging greeting cards, after Christmas.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n

When I think of Valentine’s Day, I think of RED.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

A red heart always represents this holiday in packaging, advertising, and sales.<\/p>\r\n

For a visual artist like me, everything is about COLORS and SHAPES.<\/p>\r\n

I’ve spent decades focused on foundation color theory as I created paintings, prints,\u00a0 ceramics and fiber art.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

\u00a0Every season has it’s specific colors, hues, and textures.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

As a Christian artist and author, I know that everything\u00a0 created by God is a work of glorious colors. God is an artist, whose creations surround us. Even on the \u00a0most dismal days of\u00a0 the winter season, we can see the\u00a0 colorful landscape and sky, muted, greyed, in\u00a0 shades of every color in the spectrum.<\/p>\r\n

There is color in every day, and color in every night, and in all seasons.<\/p>\r\n

We can never get enough COLOR in our life. As we plan for the holidays throughout our year, we think of the colors that we associate with that particular holiday.<\/p>\r\n

What color comes to your mind as you think of Valentine’s Day?<\/p>\r\n

RED\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n

Red boxes in a heart shape, with red satin bows tied on top. Inside the box, deep chocolates will be nestled in delicate red tissue paper, most likely.<\/p>\r\n

As I considered\u00a0 this new week in which we celebrate Valentine\u2019s Day on SATURDAY<\/p>\r\n

my reverie carries\u00a0 me to many places over my lifetime.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

I remember the Valentine Day parties in my grade-school years.in the 1950’s.\u00a0 This special day was\u00a0 a big event and we prepared for it in our art classes.\u00a0 We each created a large Valentine Box prior to the actual date for our party.\u00a0 The boxes had a slit in the top so that valentines could be dropped into the box by our classmates during our class party.\u00a0 How exciting!<\/p>\r\n

For my first eight years in school, we had our Valentine’s Day party, with laughter and anticipation.\u00a0 As we grew older over those early years, most girls would be giggling and hoping for a special valentine from one of the handsome boys in the class.\u00a0 Our mother’s would bring in the cupcakes and cookies, all baked at home in their kitchens, of course.\u00a0 And, the colors that filled the room on that day were warm and lively shades of RED. Cookies made into heart shapes, and glittering with red sugar\u00a0 sparkles on the icing.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

During the years of raising my five children, I was a hone-room mother.\u00a0 We brought treats and drinks to the classrooms of our school, according to the season\u00a0 A favorite was always Valentine’s Day and I think it is because of the color of red and the hearts that were on everything.\u00a0 It was festive, and it was personal.\u00a0 Don’t we all love this unique holiday?<\/p>\r\n

This new year,\u00a0 is my third time to celebrate\u00a0 Valentine\u2019s Day without my high-school sweetheart \u2013 my husband \u2013 Bob Lambert. It is a strange feeling to realize that a special holiday I have celebrated since early childhood, is now very\u00a0 different for me.<\/p>\r\n

This\u00a0 is a sad day for many people for a variety of reasons. I was blessed to have Bob in my life from the time I met him when I was fifteen. We married when I was seventeen,, in 1961.This week, we would have celebrated sixty-five years of Valentines and little gifts of love such as a bouquet of flowers, a new necklace, a ring, some candy, or dinner at a restaurant we enjoyed.\u00a0 This is such a PERSONAL holiday, isn’t it! In my memories, it is now a tender shade of RED.<\/p>\r\n

\u00a0Red is always the color of LOVE.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Last year, a month after my brother Tom passed away,\u00a0 my sister in law called to say,\u201dThis is Valentine\u2019s Day, and I have no valentine in my life now.\u201d\u00a0 \u00a0No Valentine, hug, or remembrance.\u00a0 \u00a0It’s a sad shade of red, on such days.<\/p>\r\n

This holiday is still special to everyone despite the personal losses. There is a delightful beauty about this holiday, for me.\u00a0 I think of the holiday as being a vivid shade of red.\u00a0 And, red is a warm color that makes us feel alive.<\/p>\r\n

I think we can do little things that will help us\u00a0 lift our hearts\u00a0 on Valentine’s Day.<\/h4>\r\n

Last year, I couldn\u2019t help but buy a red heart filled with chocolate candy as I was shopping for groceries.\u00a0 Sometimes, it is helpful to do little things to celebrate our losses, and give us some comfort and bring back the good memories of all the years we had together on Valentine\u2019s Day.<\/p>\r\n

Mouthwatering is the best word that comes to mind as I type this message. Naturally, we typically associate RED with Valentine\u2019s Day. At the grocery store you will see special heart-shaped gift boxes that are created to show love to someone special.<\/p>\r\n

Inside those decorative red satin bows on the glamorous boxes, there is an assortment of delicious chocolates.<\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

In my area of western Pennsylvania, we love to buy chocolates from our regional chocolate makers.\u00a0 I like to send them as a surprise gift to long-distance friends and family, to show off the deliciousness of our local home-crafted chocolates and candy makers.<\/p>\r\n

I must reveal that\u00a0 I am in love with RED.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

I love to wear red, and my closet has a collection of red dresses,\u00a0 shirts, and even a beautiful pair of red slacks by a favorite designer.\u00a0 Red makes me happy when I wear it, and it brings compliments and comments from friends.\u00a0 I even owned a red car at times when I was younger.\u00a0 Red just lights up the dreariness of a funky day, and it’s so much fun to wear. It never fails to be noticed, and it brings a smile to those who are making a comment.\u00a0 It is a happy color, isn’t it!<\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Question:<\/h3>\r\n

What does Valentine’s Day mean to you?<\/p>\r\n

\u00a0Scripture:<\/h3>\r\n

Ephesians 2:10:<\/h3>\r\n

“For we are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto\u00a0 good works…\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

\r\n
\r\n
\r\n
\r\n
\r\n

\u00a0I Corinthians 2:9<\/h3>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

9\u00a0<\/sup>However, as it is written:<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cWhat no eye has seen,<\/span>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>what no ear has heard,<\/span><\/span>
and what no human mind has conceived\u201d[a<\/a>]<\/sup>\u2014<\/span>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>the things God has prepared for those who love him\u2014<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n

Daily Action Plan:<\/h3>\r\n

1_ASK God to heal your heart today.\u00a0 Sometimes, it is breaking with saddness and loss on a day for celebrating love.<\/p>\r\n

2_ Your journal can be a soothing friend as you write about your day, or create a poem about your loved one.<\/p>\r\n

3.\u00a0 Call a friend or send some cards to friends who may not have a partner or spouse right now.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

4. If you are out shopping and see a place where a bouquet of flowers are available for purchase, why not buy some for yourself? Pick some flowers that make you happy.\u00a0 Just a few roses or other flowers in a small vase on your table will really lift your spirits. Be kind to yourself today.<\/p>\r\n

Tell me how you made Valentine’s Day a special day for yourself this year.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Do you know:<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n

Red\u00a0 is found in numerous stories and poems in my writings.<\/p>\r\n

One significant poem is \u201cRed December.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\r\n

I authored a poem about my neighbor who was in her eighties.\u00a0 She gallantly wore red.<\/p>\r\n

From the\u00a0 felt hat on her head, her woolen winter coat, to the leather shoes on her feet – it was RED.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

As a young mother, I was watching her get in her red car, across the road from my home. I whispered to myself:\u00a0 “I will be like HER when I am old.\u00a0 I will wear RED and I will be a happy woman, just like her!”<\/p>\r\n

***<\/p>\r\n

\r\n

\u201cRed December,\u201d is the title of that\u00a0 poem, and it appears in my book, Walking by Inner Vision: Stories & Poems, (2017).<\/em><\/strong> That poem\u00a0 speaks of the red that can be seen in clothing, and in my own wardrobe.<\/p>\r\n

Think of RED perfume, RED holiday decorations, and other\u00a0 sassy RED delights.<\/p>\r\n
