The approach of
Valentine's Day
signals
The Season of Love.
In the spirit of the Season,
I'd like to share the story of
The Love Cabinet.
On an Indian Summer day in October
I was painting my dining room.
As I was moving my china cabinet
that contained tea cups that I had collected over the years,
the cabinet fell forward crashing to the floor.
I stood speechless
surveying the smashed cabinet and tea cups.
Once the tears started
I could not stop them.
A friend called me just as my Pity Party was ending.
I told her what had happened.
The word must have gotten around
because, within hours,
friends started showing up with
special tea cups.
That Christmas,
my daughters, Amy and Tara,
(with the help of my sister, Dottie)
presented me with
a new china cabinet.
I cried for an hour
at the Love that had been poured over me.
Though that cabinet
has been slightly battered
over many moves,
It still holds gifts of Love.

In future blogs,
I'll share some of my treasures
from
The Love Cabinet.
Today I Celebrate
Sweet Surprises
that can come from
unhappy circumstances!
