Let’s forget the Orange Menace in the zwhite House for the day and think positive thoughts. Hug your friends. Kiss your loved ones. Call those who are far away and tell them you miss them. Give flowers, sniff flowers. Spread joy.
I love you all. Even those who are persistently annoying.
RESIST by forgetting about HIM for the day.
Enjoy your friends and those you love.

And a big hug to you too, toots. LOVED the para-kiting photos. Glad you still come to California.

True love and care give us joy, hope, a solid unity and belief in love.
Fake/manipulative love and dictatorship intimidate us with sorrow, despair, divisive disarray and fear with hatred.
Human beings treasure true love whereas evils enjoy fake love.
Happy Valentines to Dr. Ravitch and all formidable supporters for American Public Education.
Love, hugs and kisses from May to all of you

There, there was a time I knew
That no matter, come what may, love would prevail…

Para-kite yourself over here to ILL-Annoy, Diane! BIG fight going on (of course, where is there not?!) over preservation of special education. G.A. is in session, & LOTS of action
(some good bills) soon. We, here, need to give our kids Valentine’s Day all year…& then some. Happy to you & yours, as well.

May the fierce love you spread about to teachers, parents and kids return to you and yours a thousand fold.
