Look at me….two weeks in a row!!
Happy Valentine’s Day dear readers! I hope everyone is having a wonderful love day, even if you are not in a relationship. Some people forget that you don’t have to have a date, significant other, or spouse to enjoy this day. Focus on the love aspect, and celebrate with those that you love, whether it is family, friends, neighbors, the cat, etc. And if you don’t love anyone, then love yourself and celebrate by treating yourself to a fabulous dinner, a divine glass of wine, or a decadent dessert. Because you must love yourself before you can truly love anyone else! I passed this suggestion on to a sales clerk at a store yesterday when she said (rather glumly) that she was staying home today since she didn’t have a boyfriend. I reminded her that she might meet someone fabulous or at least have a few laughs if she went out and treated herself. She seemed to perk up at the thought so hopefully she will be out on the town tonight!
I cannot believe that this is my 15th Valentine’s Day with The Husband…time really does fly when you are having fun! Our first Valentine’s date is still one of my favorite memories. From the “lost” wallet all the way to the little blue bubble gum machine ring that I wore for months after that night (which I still have and cherish almost as much as my wedding ring), it still makes me smile to think of all the little details of that night. When I look around me at the world and various relationships, it makes me really appreciate what I have with The Husband. I know that there are many single people (and even some not so single people) who wish they had the type of relationship that The Husband and I have, and I plan on not taking it for granted!
So, go be good to yourselves, the ones you love, the little four legged friends running around the house, and enjoy today!
