Valentines Day-The Day of Gratitude

Today I have my normal headache, my fingers hurt to bend, the bill of my hat can't seem to block any of the painful lights, since I awoke my stomach has grown from a small pooch to a beautiful round pregnant looking belly, other pains remind me my stomach is not well, with quiet I hear faint ringing, walking to get the mail left me out of breath & more annoying symptoms I don't wish to try to think of at the moment.  
However, today is a day of love.  I am happy to celebrate this day of LOVE. To show love is to show gratitude. I am grateful for so many things. 
I might be unable to do much, but I am not lifeless.  To show my gratitude to my husband and kids, I came up with some fun ideas to celebrate this day.  
1. My all time favorite easy idea is to use colored dry erase markers on the mirrors!  In the kids bathroom was their own fancy decorated Happy Valentines Day! And a reminder to love those around you today and show kindness to the kids at school!  Tim, my husband got his own letter written on our mirror.     
2. For my husband, little notes of expressing the different areas of our relationship were left in his coffee grounds, lunch bag, sink and bed.
3. Card treasure hunt for the kids, ending with a few candies and four $1.  
Okay so I might be cheap, but I am creatively loving!  But now I hurt so much all over and my body feels over stimulated.  I need to go to sleep.  My insomnia has been making it so I do not get to meet my dreams for about 3 hours.  Tonight I get to try a larger dose of Melatonin per my doctors recommendation.
