42/365 My favorite quote from St. Francis of Assisi.

43/365 Stargazer Lily — flowers are everywhere especially during Valentine’s Day…

44/465 This Jollibee mascot really has a character, he even posed  for me 

45/365 Love is patient, Love is Kind, Love envies no one…..

46/365 Getting fruity — everyone seems to be health conscious nowadays, even my teenage daughter. She requested to include more fruits in the grocery. I just can’t complain

This weekend is a very special weekend as we celebrate two events in one day. Chinese New Year and Valentine’s both falling on the same date. Although, we are not Chinese, I am one in greeting our Chinese brothers, “Kung Hei Fat Choi!”

As for me and hubby, Valentine’s Day was never a big deal for us. Being married to a person who is not “as showy” when it comes to demonstrating his love and affection does not really bother me at all. I have come to accept my husband for whatever he is. The most important thing is that I know deep in my heart that he truly loves me.

However, as we heard mass this Sunday, our parish had a very cute way of celebrating Valentine’s Day. They called all the married coupled and conducted a “renewal of vows” ceremony. It was like getting married once again.  How mushy can that be

“I renew my vow to you, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish till death do us part, according to God’s holy law.”

To my hubby (who I know seldom reads my blog posts), I would like to say “Thank You!” – for the love and respect you have showed me throughout our married life. For supporting in all my endeavors. For being my strength when I am down. For all that you are and all that you wish to be, I LOVE YOU!

I hope you all had a meaningful Valentine’s day! and Happy Chinese New Year!
