I asked blogger to make this picture 'large' but it seems no different to when I request 'small, please'!
Oh well, this is what it says, for those of you without a magnifying glass:
We don't need
VALENTINE'S DAY
cards
or
Romantic Gifts
from MEN
to make us
feel
IMPORTANT
or to
VALidate
our
existence.
We are
women.
Hear us
ROAR!
I love this ... but should just point out that if any lovely men reading this would like to treat me to flowers and chocolates, I especially like Stargazer Lillies and Daisies. And my chocolate of choice would be Green and Black's Cherry.
Cards are lovely, but you'll never find one that will beat the handmade card I get every year from Youngest Daughter!
See, I'm really not against romance. Not at all. But I prefer the small everyday fuzzies to huge and empty gestures. So flowers and chocolates mean more to me on any day other than Valentine's Day.
(And a handful of daisies from the garden mean more than the grandest bouquet.)
And it's not that I don't like romantic gifts. Sweet and thoughtful offerings are always welcome.
It's just that I don't NEED them to validate me as a lovable person.
:o)
Totally off topic ...
Sorry for the end of my last post being so difficult to read ... does anyone know how to unsquash text? It happens now and then and I haven't been able to make rhyme nor reason of it. I happily type up my post, spend ages thinking about the layout and how easy it will be to read, but when I 'publish' it, the whole thing quite literally goes pear-shaped!
