This post was inspired by my Canadian-born blogger friend MJ,
who commented on my “Happy Hearts Day” Valentine post.
I was intrigued by her words, as she expressed exactly what I had tried to say myself!
In her comment, MJ said,
“Agree on the sentiment —
let’s carry the good feelings of yesterday with us as we soldier forth today.”
Don’t you just love that??
“…as we soldier forth today.”
In a conversation with MJ later, she explained,
“I’m showing my Canadian side, aren’t I?
Growing up in a Commonwealth country,
we were heavily influenced by our British Sovereign (the Queen).
Soldiering forth = stiff upper lip…”

So here are a few more heart-related photos
that might help us “soldier forth” to keep the love flowing
long after Valentine’s Day is gone.

I hope you have some special smiles tucked away in your heart
to pull out and remember when you need a little extra lift!
I’m blessed with some endearing ones –
the warm and loving smiles of my husband, my children, and my parents…
to mention the most important.
It’s always fun to attach “hugs and kisses”
to little messages we send back and forth…
xoxoxo…
…and here are a few more hearts…
cross-stitched by me.

Let’s remember that every day is a day to show love toward the people we care about…
and also toward strangers we meet along our way.
Now I encourage y’all to go over and visit MJ at
Emjayandthem’s Blog
to enjoy her many interesting photos and commentaries on everyday life.
You’ll be glad you did!!
…and let us not forget to “soldier forth”!!!
