candy hearts.

This was the first year that I can remember not eating a single candy heart on Valentine's day. Typically, my February diet consists mainly of sweet caffeinated beverages, chocolate (in many shapes and sizes) and yellow candy hearts. (I am partial to the yellow ones, although I will have an orange here and there.In my personal opinion, there are not really any other colors worth my time). This Valentine's day was different. Although chocolate and sweets were not hard to find, I never came across a candy heart. I tried to get over this sad reality, as there were many other things to enjoy. This week, however, I was very pleasantly surprised when I received a delightful little envelope in my usually quite uninhabited mailbox (I do love letters, send me one if you like...). This envelope was from a very special someone, and had inside a curious green dusting over each little paper. At first, I was quite confused. I soon remembered that he had a mentioned a candy heart that he had found just for me. I smiled as I realized that the green dust was the one and only candy heart that I had encountered this February season. In fact, I was so excited that I carefully collected the green dust into a small jar and set it next to Ella - my flower-plant (who is doing quite well these days, despite cold weather and an over-protective mother). I wake up every morning to my little jar of fairy dust, and smile. I am not really sad that I didn't get to eat it, because I don't care for the green kind anyway. This post may be considered quite un-inspirational to some, but then (again) they've never had the boy they love send them a candy heart from across the sea. Just a little thought, and a lot of love from a girl who can't stop thinking about you. Have a nice day.
