Yeah, it's kinda like that.
Ah, Valentine’s Day.
Thank goodness for ProFlowers, who will send flowers in a box that you assemble yourself, at a great discount, and easily purchased with a few clicks on the web.
Ya gotta love the hearts and flowers commercials all over television, telling you that she needs that diamond-heart-pendant (note here: guys, don’t purchase this, it’s worse than no jewelry at all) and that she’d love a box of chocolates (again, she may like it at the time, but she will curse you later, at the gym.)
Oh, but wait, TMobile is offering smartphones on special for Valentine’s Day. . .because nothing says lovin’ like a text from your sweetie. And best of all—like the ad says—it won’t cost you a cent. Now that’s love.
Just don't do this on Valentine's Day.
I was thinking about Valentine’s Day this year, and how sucky this holiday must be for all of the people who don’t have a Valentine, have just lost the person they loved their entire life (like my sweet dear auntie who was married for fifty years), or to the person who really just does not even remotely want to be reminded that this is a day for lovers, for the love-of-Pete.
So let’s be kind. Just give a friend a hug. And tell them that you love them. Buy them a drink, and dinner. And let’s not get all mushy-gushy. Share the love, since friendship is the biggest piece of our hearts we can ever give each other.
Love need not be contained inside of one day, after all, nor proven with gifts wrapped up and given, but in thoughts, words, and deeds.
