H is for...
Heart.
Aside from the physical organ in the body, the American Heritage Dictionary also says of the heart: "....The heart, thought of as the vital center of one's being, emotions, and sensibilities; the seat or repository of emotions."
My oldest daughter looked out into my back yard on Christmas day, and smiled with glee and said :Look Mom, a heart !
Isn't it lovely?
I have collected naturally heart shaped stones all my life. What a treat to discover this marking left over from a long ago lost branch, on a tree in my own back yard.
It never ceases to make me smile.
I have a heart shaped stone that I picked up on a beach in NH years ago!
