Sonnet 43

Posted on February 14, 2018 | 24 Comments

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways…

Today’s weird bird was inspired by Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s Sonnet 43:

In the book, Finding The Gift by Angela Howell, she writes; “Be the love you wish to receive… Love you! Love your life exactly as it is right now. Happiness is an inside job!”

How do you love YOU?

Happy Valentine’s Day to someone special – YOU!

Cheers! 🙂

    🙂 No. Nothing special going on. He-Man gave me a lovely box of Sees chocolates though. 🙂 We’ll be enjoying that for days.
