Yesterday was probably the first Feb 14 that I didn't receive flowers. (Sad, huh?) My current husband says he wants to stay married. My question to him is "WHY?" There is no response.
The only special days of the year, to me besides Christmas and Easter, are birthdays. I truly believe if a spouse treats you with respect and love the other 365 days of the year, Valentines Day is not all that special. It is only one day that you "HAVE" to say I love you. Should you need a reminder to say it or be nice to another person? I don't think so.
My roommate gave me chocolate kisses and cookies. (He knows me). And, I received several texts from friends. That's more than enough recognition for February 14. What about the rest of the year?
My friends, Kris and Melissa, have the right idea. They so totally love and respect each other that every day is seen as a gift.
One day I will have that again. Until then, celebrate each day with kindness, respect and most of all love. It's amazing how much people need to see and hear this, and it produces wonderful results.
My advice - Open the day and rejoice.
