Valentines, Chocolates, and Good Luck Charms By Connie Vines #ebookweek25, #Smashwords Connie Vines

 

I'm straddling two celebrations in my current blog post. 

Forgive me; I could not choose between them: hearts, candies, flowers,  charms, gold coins, or good luck.

So, in my usual enthusiastic abandonment, I'm running with it!

I must admit that Valentine's Day has become a highly commercialized holiday. However, in this busy world, it is a pause in the chaos of life. 

It reminds us to take time for our loved ones and cherished friends. 

Is it a love letter to Mushy? A box of Chocolates, too costly? Then, "spend" your time with your favorite person. After all, time is the most cherished gift. 

A walk in the park and sharing a thermos of coffee. Listening to the gentle call of morning doves...or simply spending an afternoon baking heart-shaped cookies together in the kitchen.  💓💕💘💝

I must confess the thought of Leprechauns running around and pinching me was very disconcerting when I was a child.

Especially when I learned that the fairies could be mean and goblins ran amuck, too.  The only way to avoid harm was to wear green. Apparently, this kept a human 'invisible.'  This was a deal-breaker for me, LOL. I had three younger brothers and a younger sister--nothing made me invisible!

However, I enjoyed a meal of corned beef and cabbage during childhood and often a traditional shepherd's pie as an adult.

Unfortunately, I must confess my ignorance, which was only revealed when researching Saint Patrick's Day in my article today.

The word for today: Shillelagh.

I can spell it; I can pronounce it. 

I did not know it was a walking stick. 

Everyone has a favorite holiday. What is yours?

Feel free to share your favorite holiday memory.
