CELEBRATING VALENTINE'S DAY....Day Three

It's Day Three of the month of hearts and flowers. 

So have you given your Day Three gift yet?  I did very early in the morning; I left the gift near the computer so my husband would find it first thing. 

So far recipients of my little surprises have gone to my hubby and an acquaintance. The 👀 look of surprise is quite fun. 

         DAY FOUR SURPRISE 

Day Four...Give a Valentine's gift bag with a package of cinnamon sugar jelly hearts or small package or two of Valentine's M&M's.

Something sweet to your sweetie is a welcomed gift or welcome gift to anyone. If that special person in your life has a certain type candy or treat they enjoy, substitute it by all means. 

On my grocery store travels yesterday I noticed the Valentine's Day candy display. I must say there was quite a variety of sweets to choose from. I picked up two miniature boxes of Russell Stover candies that I hid for giving later during the fourteen days as well as a few boxes of conversational hearts.  

Other candy manufacturers also had their items on display.  I found it a hard choice on what to pick.  

Yesterday for Day Two I was the recipient of a coffee mug from my husband.  It has hearts around the surface and holds at least eight ounces of coffee.  Like other mugs I have received for holidays, this one will be put away once February comes to an end or perhaps right before.  

I had purchased at a dollar type store a Valentine's mug and gave it to an individual who needed a cheering up.  Surprised they were.  Of course I put a few candies inside for them. Chocolate cheers everyone it seems.  

Enjoy the following poem about falling in love.  

Until Day Four.....hope you are a receiver of little gifts for the Fourteen Day love challenge.

      PENGUIN HEART

      ©Scottie-ann Murphy

Love was frozen......

In my penguin heart;

  an iceberg......

    unable to melt

I built a fortress 

  Around myself

   NEVER....

 to let anyone into my life

   NEVER....

  to love

I kept myself in check

Guarding against the pain 

   Along life's track,

     carefully I walked 

avoiding anyone......

        who...... 

 tried to walk with me

 From someplace......

    Somewhere......

  you appeared

So unaware of your presence 

       until......

 I looked into your eyes

There I saw a caring soul

    a warm smile

       and a gentle voice

As you touched my hand

    I felt love......

  flowing from within your soul

My penguin heart........

     became.......

  a smoldering flame
