I’m not an expert on the history of Valentine’s Day, but I do believe it started before Hallmark made it a ‘national’ holiday over one hundred years ago! Nevertheless, it is a good time to remember that you are loved because YOU are YOU! Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️😍❤️

“Hope” is the thing with feathers –
That perches in the soul –
And sings the tune without the words –
And never stops – at all –
And sweetest – in the Gale – is heard –
And sore must be the storm –
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm –
I’ve heard it in the chillest land –
And on the strangest Sea –
Yet – never – in Extremity,
It asked a crumb – of me.
– Emily Dickinson
