Happy Valentine's Day

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day! HOpe you are spending it with someone you love! It doesn't have to be a husband, a boyfriend, a lover....it could be your child or children, your parents, your cousins, you neice or nephew. Whomever you chose to be your Valentine, is your Valentine! enjoy your day, as the sun rises or sets, and think of those you loved and those you continue to love. I am not big into the buying of expensive gifts any longer. I will admit that I was, once. I just want to spend the day with people I love. Nothing fancy, nothing extravagant, but with them. I understand that my son, who will be 16 soon, will want to spend a good part of the day with his girlfriend. I get it, and it sounds nice. SO, that is what he wants to do for the day. I will be glad when the jewelry store ads calm down, when the card commercials go away, when the call this or that number for flowers ads go away. The gimmicks for folks to spend, spend, spend..........those annoy me. The advertisers try to make people feel innadequate if they cannot afford the diamond heart pendant or the $80 bouquet of flowers. That isn't what it is all about, it is about the sentiment of love, the essence of love, the love of love. SO, on this Valentine's Day, I ask all of you to ignore the ads, love those you love with all of your hearts, enjoy the time and company that you have together, laugh together. That is what counts, it is what matters. Have a great day together!
