Once Upon a Future Valentine’s
a love poem
When I think of you,
I think
of sunrise—of all the light
you’ll ferry to
✨my eyes.✨
I think
of cuddles—baby’s breath,
and lullabies—of
peek-a-boo and
kisses (soft)
like butterflies...
your little feet—tip-toeing .:puddles:.—(and)
sweet, sweet,
goodnights.🌙
I think
of you and I—decorating
heart-shaped cupcakes {once upon}
a future Valentine’s.

Healing in the Stillness
Loneliness is precious because only in that quiet stillness can you truly hear the voice of your heart. You have faced your sadness and shed your tears alone, with honesty. You accept them, knowing they are life lessons—a vital part of the journey. Only when you are alone can you truly grow.

Merriam Webster - Word of the day: Tranche refers to a division or portion of a whole. World Contact Day is commemorated every year on March 15. It is a unique observance held globally to focus on communicating with extraterrestrial life and exploring the possibility that intelligent beings may exist beyond Earth. World Contact Day inspires people to invoke their curiosity and spend time thinking about the universe and the mysteries surrounding it. What is the “Ides of March”? According to the Roman calendar, the Ides are a monthly occurrence. In March and other months with 31 days, the Ides always falls on the 15th; it falls on the 13th in months with 30 days. The Ides traditionally marked the arrival of the new Moon and was cause for celebration. The word “Ides” is derived from Latin, meaning “to divide.” Mothering Sunday in 2026 falls on Sunday, March 15. Mothering Sunday, celebrated in the United Kingdom and Ireland, occurs on the fourth Sunday of Lent, which is exactly three weeks before Easter. Unlike the fixed-date Mother's Day in countries like the United States, Canada, and Australia, Mothering Sunday’s date changes each year according to the Christian liturgical calendar. On March 15, 2026, several notable observances and events are celebrated: Dumbstruck Day: A day to express frustration. Everything You Think is Wrong Day: A day to challenge and celebrate wrong beliefs. International Day Against Police Brutality: A day to raise awareness and advocate against police violence. My look at today, March 15, 2026 below:

Awww, this was so SO sweet and adorable! Loved your poem!
Darn, right when I thought I've escaped the clutches of baby fever, Your poem incites the nostalgia I've had of cuddling a baby cousin or two, their sweet breath evokes memories as they lay upon my chest. These memories I do trace, like the lines of my sweater that embed onto their cute, drooling, chubby face.
Very sweet, Gina!
Is there anything to stir & lift the heart like that of a sweet dear child? You capture & express what I experience watching or playing with children perfectly here, Gina!
This is so Beautiful 😍
This is so sweet
Heartfelt & Gorgeous! Go Gina! 💝
