~ love february, hello! ~
My Kashi breakfast this morning. It actually reminds me a little of the food I feed my cat! But I love
those little cereal hearts. What better way to start love February. Nikon D80. February 1, 2010.
January is done! And good riddance, too. Hello February! Now I know that for many this is the least favorite month in our calendar. A damp, grey and cold reminder that winter is not over yet. Thankfully it only has 28 days, some will say while exhaling a big sigh. Well, to me it’s always been a wonderful month, filled with love, color and fun. First of all there is Carnival, a week of dressing up, letting go and yes, quite a bit of madness. Growing up in one of Germany’s carnival capitals it was an integral and much loved part of my childhood and adolescence. Then there is Valentine’s Day, followed very closely by my birthday and wedding anniversary. Indeed, I got married on my birthday and no, not so that my husband would never forget our wedding day (he is not that kind of man) but because we both thought it would be romantic. And it was. So all in all a pretty happy month in my books.
So I decided to do something quite radical and join Lisa in making February all about love. Well, at least it feels kind of radical to me because things have been somewhat dark and heavy around here (even though some of you assured me that it was ok, which I appreciated very much!) It’s been a long time since I have taken on a blogging challenge and I am usually not too good at sticking with things, but hey ~ it’s a short month! And every post this month will be about LOVE xo
Great post today and I love the picture! I know that it\’s dated the February 1, but I just saw it this morning on the 2nd which is my first wedding anniversary! So it feels perfect for today and echos how I\’m feeling over at my space. I had a little surprise for John that you can see there when you have a minute. I may have a look at Lisa\’s Love challenge too because I am definitely feeling it.
Ah Kerstin, a month of love will lift you’re spirits and let the darkness fade.
Many hugs to you.
I heard that the groundhog says we\’re going to have six more weeks of winter. I\’m okay with that, but most of my family and friends are longing for spring. A month of love sounds like just what we need.
This time you just made me smile
I do not know why, but the text is so positive and full of life that I had to smile. And yeaaah for the Carnival season. I am in the middle of it and I really hope that I will get more time to celebrate as it seems at the moment.
And anniversary and birthday on the same day….one more smile in my face. Btw when is it?
Go on with the optimistic point of view of your life and enjoy February!
What a great idea — Love. I won’t blog about it. I don’t have a blog (yet). You have inspired me (yet again) to think it and place it on my heart bigger and deeper than before this month. My hope and my guess is that if I stick with keeping LOVE on the forefront of everything I do and think, my world will be a brighter place if just for a month. Maybe it will feel so good I might do it for another month and then . . . We all need to spread the love this month and see where it takes us! Again, Great idea! Love = light (the opposite of darkness).
Great idea. What a challenge! The door of my heart could use a little opening these days.
